"I'm begging you! I need this!" Fatespeaker stood at a small sales stand at the edge of Possibility.

"Fatespeaker, I told you, Turtle is busy right now!" Kinkajou exclaimed, keeping her cool despite the urgency of Fatespeaker's voice. "I could easily assist you with anything you need though, I'm also an author."

"I don't need a story!" Fatespeaker started getting impatient. "I need and animu-" Kinkajou quickly covered her mouth.

"Don't just say that!" She demanded in a loud whisper. "Its still a secret, come on." Kinkajou flipped a sign on the stall from open to closed. "Come on, I'll just bring you to him." She quickly opened a door behind the stall and ushered Fatespeaker in. "He's back there, always busy writing."

Fatespeaker pushed the door open to see Turtle hunched over a desk in a bright room with a large skylight and several shelves for scrolls. "Hm?" His head perked up as he took off what seemed to be a set of reading glasses. "Oh, hello Fatespeaker, what can I help you with?"

"I need an animus." She said flatly, Kinkajou quickly moving past her to Turtle's side. Turtle's welcoming smile turned to a frown.

"Oh... alright... I guess... what is it you need?"

"Well... I'm worried Starflight doesn't love me anymore... so I was wondering-"

"Nope, I'm sorry but I refuse to do love spells..." He glanced nervously at Kinkajou who has a few blue splotches along her bright pink scales.

"W-What? But, why not? You have to help me!" Fatespeaker cried as she took a step closer.

"Listen Fatespeaker, love spells are not a good thing." Turtle stood up, trying to sound confident. "Trust me, you do not want to mess with this kind of magic."

Fatespeaker sighed. "Well then what am I supposed to do?"

"Not enchant him? Just, I don't know, ask dragons who are around you two more?"

"Alright... I can try... Thanks for that, I guess..." Fatespeaker stood up and walked away. Turtle and Kinkajou glanced at each other, both wondering the same thing; "What is she planning?"
