Years went by and we became closer friends. My human, Delany, was only a mortal, since her father was a warlock, but fell in love with a mortal woman. Since she couldn't do magic herself, we spent our free time at the lake. I used my magic to hover her over the lake and skip her rocks across when she was too young to herself.
