Unraveling Witch

The Invitation

Guys I got a new tablet and it underlines my mistakes in red! Oh happy fucking day! I can also play Pokemon go on this new device! I'm going for a looonnngg walk tomorrow muhahaha!

Koishe had my clothes cleaned then came back with  many boxes in her hands. Inside where many kimonos of a variety of colors and patterns. She assisted me in trying on the ones I liked. Which was a black stary kimono, a red kimono with rose vines, a purple sky kimono and a pink kimono with doves on it. The rest she took away and brought back more that she thought I would like.

"Helena, I think you could do well with a bath. Your hands are caked with clay and blood." She said frowning at my hands as I flipped through my book. I looked over my book at her as she folded the kimonos back up and placed them in my chest.

"I have agreed to take a bath when Rin does. Today I didn't get to spend time with her like I usually do." I said returning to my readings.

"Very well, I will go make the preparations! Your dinner should be in the making. I will return with it. Is there anything else I can get you?" She asked.

"No, no. That would be all. Thank you Koishe." I waved her off. She then left and I was left in solitude once more. For a while longer I listened to my music and read. Then, I began to feel pent up so I made my way down to the servant quarters in person.

"Lady witch! Lady witch!" A kid exclaimed running to me with a clay man on his shoulders. He was a young half bird demon. His nose was pointed and instead of hair he had fine feathers a top of his head.

"Yes little bird?" I said giving him an amused smile.

"You want feathers? You can have some of mine if you want! Please let me give them to you as a present!" He asked and many of the other children soon gathered around me. Some weren't afraid to come so close to me while others lingered. The servants quarters where looking good now. I can tell the clay men and the children worked tirelessly to clean it up.

"A present for me? Why I would love to accept such a generous offer." I said sweetly.

"My name is Soren! Here, if you want more I will be happy to continue to give you feathers!" He said plucking a hand full one by one. He then blushed and handed them up to me. His feathers were an inky black and held a small bit of his demonic aura. They were more than I had expected. These would do wonders for whatever purpose I employed upon them.

"Why, this will do quite nicely for now. I don't want you to have to pluck such beautiful feathers from yourself. You wear them so handsomely." I said making him blush harder.

"Here! I want to give you feathers too!" A girl said plucking a few from her own head. Her feathers were black but in the light they turned blue. They were much longer than Soren's.

"Two presents in one day. My my, am I being spoiled?" I exclaimed dramatically brining a hand to my cheek in awe.

"Thank you for the clay dolls! I've never seen our home so clean and they play with us too!" Another pipped up. It must've been Koishe's child for it was a young bear cub.

"You're welcome children, it was nothing. I came down here to see the outcome of your work. I must say you have done wonderfully in cleaning for your parents as they work in the castle." I complimented looking around.

"The dolls did most of the work!" Soren said.

"Well, you worked beside them and extra hard to help did you? Therefore it is you that I give thanks too. Keep it clean down here and tell Koishe if one of my dolls seem to break. I'll replace it first chance I get." I promised.
