Ancient Magic and Modern Quirks

Early Pioneer Era

1672

Two people were living in a big house (AN: Like the one in Farming Life in Another World that Hiraku Machio got from the elves) at the edge of the newly built village in Salem, American making them to be careful as they still look like their kind form the past, but a bit more modern as they can pass as these so-called 'humans' making them to stay far away from them from time to time as they watched with great interest in how the world reshapes as learn sorting things to help him out in their new immortal life cause of the meteorite that they had founded.

The males all wore loose trousers and full shirts that were open at the neck and made of cotton or linen. Coats were made of twilled cotton. The boots were heavy and sturdy. Every man had a hat made of straw, felt, or fur, depending on the weather and most young girls in their pioneer families had two dresses for work and play; and had one Sunday dress. An apron was worn over the dress to keep it from getting dirty or torn. It was easier to wash the apron than to wash the dress again and again.

Both of them had to wear the same clothing as there's no more 'fur' anywhere on their bodies and it's just on their heads which's called hair, eyebrows, mustaches and beards making the brother to have facial hair on the sides of his face. They slowly noticed that some color was leaving his skin in patches and his hair is losing color in those patches on his head making his dark red hair to go white in those areas. Both had gotten used to eating meat making them to wonder how to cook it like they do as it seems to be done in a weird thing.

Some explained since they noticed they eat the meat and vegetables by roasting them on sticks stripped of their bark making the two to know about the Dutch ovens, frying pans, boiling pots, and roasting spits. They helped with cuttings the trees for more farmland as the oldest one can remove the tree stumps making it easier to get the land plowed faster. They can use the trees to build barns to hold animals in to raise them and use them for food when it's time to eat them making many to agree with them and do so.

The youngest one watched the children as the males work while learning to things to do by the females as they need to teach them to the next generation making the older one to come back as there's a lot of trees taken down to make the village bigger with lots of farmland and lots of expansions to the village. Both know that they can't be killed by anything making them to hide it from the villagers the best that they can. The youngest made dolls of the villagers making one of the children to mistaken it as witchcraft.

The youngest actually had to explain that they made it for the families to have as a warning sign if one of them is sick, the face will turn green or if dead, they will fall over to warn them making them to see how it worked making them to wonder if it was witchcraft or not. The youngest makes herbal medicine making one of them to be dandelion soup, The youngest one saw some wild brown chickens and gently approached them as they has a basket to collect the eggs from since the chicken cop isn't ready for them yet.

They collected fifty eggs and left them be as they throw down some corn nibbles down for them to eat as they went home making everyone to be shocked at them as the chickens didn't move away from them as chickens would know if anyone is a witch or not. They even found the rest of the ingredients in their underground storage since they and their sibling kept it a secret about her new powers that they're developing somehow as if they always had it in them or something making them to think they're gaining it themselves.

Some think eating plants they don't think are edible is wrong, but high levels of the antioxidant beta carotene and polyphenols in dandelions can fight inflammation and keep diseases at bay by lowering blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. Dandelion greens are also believed to protect the liver and fight cancer, among many benefits. The soup was great and kept them warm throughout the night before they heard a bell about wolves being in the village making the older one to chase them away.
