Feathers and Spells

As soon as Kamaria awoke the next morning, she quickly jumped into action and ran towards where Augustus and Neil slept soundly when a sharp pain in her shoulder blades caused her to fall to her knees. Augustus and Neil awoke to the sound of the thud of Kamaria falling, they sat up groggily and yawned. "Kamaria? What's wrong?" Neil asked as he rubbed his eyes, Kamaria looked up at the two creatures "I came to tell you what Selûne told me, but my back really hurts for some reason" she responded, pulling herself up from the hardwood floor. Augustus stood up and waddled over to Kamaria, "Here, I can look if you'd like, just to make sure you're ok" he suggested. Kamaria nodded and turned, Augustus pulled the small zipper of her long dress down partly and gasped as he examined her upper back. Neil quickly flew over and gasped as well, on her shoulder blades her small feather patches that appeared to have grown out of her back overnight. Kamaria turned her head back "Whats wrong?" She asked worryingly, Augustus looked up to meet her eyes, "You have feathers! Are these uh .... are these new?" He asked sheepishly. Kamaria's eyes widened in shock, "Yes! Of course they're new! People don't just grow feathers!!" She said loudly, as Augustus zipped her back up. Neil shrugged, "Well you're not typically a normal person" he stated nonchalantly, Kamaria shook her head "Anyways, lets worry about this later, I gotta tell you what Selûne told me! She said someone is coming here today, but not a normal someone. We gotta prepare, she said she would make sure Ill know all the spells I need in order to protect you guy's when I woke up" she explained, Augustus and Neil looked at eachother and then back at Kamaria, "We should get prepared" Neil said quickly as the group ran to prepare the cabin for the worst. Neil decided to make the surrounding area filled with fog and Augustus choose to make large sand dunes around the cabin so that when the wind blew it would create a sand storm. Kamaria grabbed her staff and decided to cast minor illusion to disguise the cabin as a large oak tree. The three ran inside the cabin and hid, high fiving eachother for a job well done. "This plan is fool proof! Good job guys!" Augustus said happily, Kamaria was laughing along with the group when she saw from the window, the fog around the cabin dissipating. "Uh, Neil? Should your fog be doing this?" Kamaria said nervously, the other two quick ran towards the window and stood with Kamaria. "What? No, no it should not! Whats happening?!" He said, as the whole group was in a panic. Suddenly, the group was drawn to a bright light emerging from the rest of the fog. A figure walked with the light overtop of them like a huge spot light, the details of the figure were near impossible to make out in that moment, however, Kamaria knew this was the person they were waiting for.
