suggest something that would be bad, Daniel.”
    “It’s alright, Luna,” Daniel reassured with a weak smile. “You didn’t do anything wrong. I just wanted to be clear about what was happening when we got to your home.”
    “Just saying,” Falla distantly mentioned. “It would definitely help if you showed such love towards us.”
    “Daniel will do just fine without having to do such a thing,” Specca insisted before returning to her work in the book. “I’m sure your kind and Kroanette’s will see reason from us. We just need to find two more monster races afterward to help us and then Charlotte will stand by us as well.”
    The travelers continued on their way towards Flairwood, with Lucky and Kroanette galloping along quickly while Triska and Alyssa kept on guard for anything else that might pop up on them.
    “Say, Alyssa,” Triska spoke up. “Does your staff have anything to do with your magic? If Daniel held that and your focuser would that help him get in touch with the magical ether more?”
    “Not really,” Alyssa said shaking her head. “It’s just used as support for the spells we witches cast. Using a wand or staff made with a proper enchantment can help stabilize or focus more demanding magic. But if Daniel can’t even conjure up a simple spell to begin with then my staff is worthless in all regards to him.”
    “Made with a proper enchantment?” Triska asked looking to her.
    “My staff was made from a tree near my home,” Alyssa explained. “The wood was enchanted to be fire-resistant and help me control my fire better. Or at least somewhat better. After all no sense in me using anything else if my fires would simply burn it up.”
    “I see,” Triska said looking down with worry. “So then there really is nothing else we can do to help him with this?”
    “If there was I would have already suggested it. I’ll lend my focuser and all my magic that I can to help him get a feel for it, but it all comes down to him gaining control over the ether on his own. I can only do so much for him.”
    “Well, that still beats the alternative,” Triska reasoned with a shrug. “I think we’re all okay with him taking his time and practicing rather than eating out Pip.”
    “Agreed.”
    “I agree as well,” Kroanette spoke from next to them, the girls looking to seeing the centaur casually watching the passing landscape as she ran alongside the caravan. “Honestly, I do question whether or not what that tiny fairy said was true. Could she really endow someone with magical powers simply by having them perform oral service on her?”
    “Who knows,” Alyssa replied. “I don’t know much about fairies myself, what magic they may possess is a mystery to me. Still, I’m willing to bet she couldn’t do such a thing.”
    “Such a strange little monster,” Triska commented.
    “You’re telling me,” Kroanette agreed with a small shiver, remembering the feeling of Pip burrowing into her breasts with her playful giggling.
    “At least we won’t have to deal with her again,” Alyssa reassured while looking around at the sky with a curious glance.
    From behind them they suddenly heard Squeak squeaking loudly while the other girls were calling out her name. Triska and Alyssa looked to each other then back into the cabin from behind the curtain. Inside Squeak was staggering around in circles while squeaking and waving her hands around, with Daniel and the other girls watching her with surprise as she seemed to be in distress.
    “Squeak, what’s wrong?” Daniel quickly asked.
    “What’s with you?” Falla said as Squeak hopped around in a panic.
    “Hey, what’s going on?” Triska called back to them.
    Squeak spun around in circles before dropping onto the floor flailing her arms and legs around. Daniel and the other girls rushed over to her while Triska quickly darted back into the cabin to see what was happening.
    “Squeak? What’s wrong?” Daniel asked as the group gathered around
