Everything was going smoothly across all dimensions, the soul people were getting better at their powers and peace was reigning everywhere. Pure was doing his work when he received a notification

Pure: Oh, Wilson is back to full health, they are giving him his flu shots now.

Alisha: What about Hiraeth?

Pure: Keeping to her probation and has taken up music, mostly the violin.

Alisha: She a natural?

Pure: Seems so, when the school year begins, she wants to enroll and learn music and a second language.

Carolina: Did she sign the adoption papers?

Pure: Not yet, she is thinking about it.

Over in Santa Compana, Hiraeth was taking some time to get the hand placement right to play the right notes. A curse was helping her by showing her how to do each note.

Hiraeth: Catching some of these notes are harder than I thought.

Curse: Yes, it will take some time for you to get muscle memory but you do show promise.

Hiraeth: Thanks.

Hiraeth got up and put the violin away and headed out, a different curse was keeping an eye on her. She was heading out until she saw a yeti walking around on all fours. Hiraeth got curious.

Hiraeth:Hello?

The yeti looked around then down and saw Hiraeth.

Yeti: Oh, hello there little one?

Hiraeth: I'm nineteen big boy.

Yeti: Oh, I'm sorry.

Hiraeth: What kind of demi-human are you?

Yeti: I'm part yeti.

Hiraeth: Then why do you have the cracks like the soul people do?

Yeti: I'm a special case. Some of us had to be transformed into demi-humans because of how much soul power we took in. Normal people have a good amount but some of us got overloaded with it, resulting in this.

Hiraeth: Did you pick yeti?

Yeti: I did.

Hiraeth: What's your name?

Yeti: Caelix.

Hiraeth looked at Caelix's fur.

Hiraeth: How soft is your fur?

Caelix: Very, would you like to touch?

Hiraeth: Sure.

Caelix reached out his hand and she started to rub his fur.

Hiraeth: This is so soft.

Hiraeath put her face on his fur and then stop after a minute.

Caelix: You like?

Hiraeth: Yeah.

Caelix: Yeti sells their molted fur to looms to make soft and comfy clothing.

Hiraeth: I'll see if I can get some of that clothing .

Caelix: I'm still adjusting and haven't gotten my first thick coat but it has been really nice here.

Hiraeth: Me too.

Caelix saw the circuit lines on her skin instead of the soul cracks.

Caelix: You with the mansion or shrine?

Hiraeth: Shrine.

Caelix: With the family?

Hiraeth: Yeah.
