Kallon looks over the spell and the necessary ingredients. "Let's hope this works." Kallon says under his breath in a mumble. Kallon grabs a feather, a bowl of water, a rock and a small bowl of Mother Tree's sap to light on fire. "I need the picture of a wolf or maybe a stuffed animal." Mayla walks up to Kallon. "I have a wolf plushie that I got Willo from the zoo. I'll go get it." Mayla runs off to get the toy and Kallon continues to get the ingredients that he needs. Kallon picks up a glass of milk, a dish of honey, basil, bay leaves, cinnamon, salt, a medium bowl to mix some of the ingredients in and a spoon to stir it. Mayla comes running back with the toy. "Thank you Mayla. I need one more thing. Do you think you can help me get it?" Mayla nods her head. "I can try. What do you need?" Kallon looks over at Willo. "I know he trusts you the most. Do you think you will be able to get a hair from his head?" Mayla looks over at Willo. "Leaph, will you help me please?" Leaph swallows. "What do you need?" "I need you to take out your dagger. When I say I need you to cut one of his hairs. I don't want to pull it out. You know." Leaph takes out his dagger and moves closer to Willo. "Okay Willo, I know you're tired. Is it alright if Leaph and I get one of your hairs?" Mayla asks Willo in a sweet voice. Willo looks at Mayla and smiles. His eyes move to Leaph and he starts to babble. Mayla picks Willo up. "Okay. Leaph is going to cut some of your hair now." Mayla nods her head and Leaph takes some of Willo's hair in his fingers. With his other hand he takes his dagger and cuts a few strands of hair. "I'm so glad I keep this sharp." Leaph says as he pulls his hands away and lets out the breath he didn't know he was holding. Mayla kisses Willo on the forehead. "Thank you." she whispers as she puts him back down on the table. Leaph walks over and hands the hair to Kallon. "Please tell me that this all that you need. I don't know if I can handle that amount of stress again." Kallon smiles. "That is all that I need. Thank you." Kallon places the medium bowl in front of him and the wolf toy on the other side. First he puts in Willo's hair. He then pours in the milk and adds the honey. Next he sprinkles in the basil and adds the bay leaves and cinnamon. Lastly he adds a pinch of salt and stirs the ingredients together till the salt dissolves and there are no clumps of herbs. Kallon picks up the bowl and lifts it to the moon where he closes his eyes. He then places the bowl next to Willo as he begins his spell.

Ithil-glow, hith, bone a muscleBlack a nen weathered rockBlood drawn muted a gurth screech
