**trigger warning: references date rape**
*trigger warning: unwanted advances*When I wake in the morning it is to a monkey, a Griffen and a small man in my bed. This is not how I expected to wake.
"Did Luck rape you, you can tell me" Ramock says as I turn over and blink awake.
"Ahh" I yell
"The only person breaking my boundary's is you ramock. Get out of my bed."
"I was on the floor until you got these flowers Luck says they are sorry for date raping you."
"That is not what the card says." I tell him after reading a sweet poem from Luck on one side that goes.Morning spring,
Sunset noon.
A time in autumn,
When you bloom.
My head is nonsense,
So I sing this tune.On the other side that says do not trust Ramock. I laugh because I never trust Ramocks word on anything.
After this rumours are dispelled and Luck is still shy, he hardly looks at me except when he knows I am not looking. I catch him staring at me at random moments and blush harder still. I worry about Ramock entering my bedchamber again and subtilely commission Felicity to make me a lock for my door. She easily does this with some help from paws and I and we three head over to see our friend Ms Amia Ro at her shop. But find she is not in and instead there is a little girl of 12 she tells us, she is half moth folk and half Dragonborn. How interesting this little girl is. I had no idea that moth folk could breath with other creatures.
"I'm Leelda Vosh" She says to introduce herself "I haven't see another moth folk since mama died."
"Oh I am sorry when was that?" I ask her trying to understand how long she has been away from the moth people. How long has she been isolated.
"I was still really little. Um I think seven years ago. I was five." She swallows very hard and blinks away tears from her large dark eyes that are very human in shape and design but big and black like a moths might be.
My mother will be very interested to hear about this little girl, and especially because she has been so separated from our people and culture.
"And your father."
"Oh he works up at the manor home. Um thats why I help Amia now, I wasn't a very good servant but I was still kept around for a long time because I was daddy's little girl, but now I'm old enough to start working so I'm being trained up."
The group of us nods Le-El-Da tells us more about her parentage and about her ability's about the shop and what she is able to sell to us. She says she can't make new goods except for a few simple potions.
"When will Amia be back" Paws asks
She shrugs unsure
"Thank you Le-el-da" I says and she rolls her eyes at me.
We leave the shop without the new lock fully finished but with a new friendship made.
We come back the next day after another night of Ramock sleeping in my room after I told him I don't need his protection and certainly not from Luck. He wont listen and their is no reasoning with the man. Magic is the only means.
When I arrive at the shop the next morning desperate for her help Amia is there looking tired beyond belief.
"Oh hello sir bel, I heard something about Luck and you kissing?"
"Please don't listen to the Buffoons around town, it was actually lovely."
"Oh thats good. I was slightly worried. Not that that sounds like the Luck I know but you know things happen when one is away demon possessions and such."
"Ah yes, well we were quite hoping you could help us with a little project it would seam that this lock would need some enchanting. And we happen to have a stone that we know very little about."
Felicity pulled out the shard of essence and showed it to Amia.
"Oh a shard of essence, well the shade were beings that were known to not have shards of Devine creation and so they searched for something to fill this void and give them power and they found some such thing, in this they became hallow and gave away their power to those creatures that they had once stollen their power from. Thus a shard of essence was planted in those creatures. A spark of magical energy. This mote of energy depending how much one creature was using of the shade magic to exist could help create many magically enchanted items. This one is about 5 items maybe 6 depending on the size and quality of items." Amia explained.
That day Amia helped us enchant several objects before she told us she had to go lay down. It turns out magical energy is not limitless and that we exhausted her capability's for the day with about 4 objects in 14 hours of enchanting, in which we did try to help bring her supplies refreshment and food, or anything we could think of. But it only cut down the time by about 20 minutes.
Still at the end of the day we were able to carry more items on us in a more ease effective way, as well as have a lock that was nigh impossible to break into.
That night I curled into bed safe and sound and secure of the knowledge that only the people I allowed in would be let in and that meant Luck and not Ramock.
