June: Friday

We leave his house well packed up. We walk to a tiny restaurant to give time Peter to shift in old man with a stick of course. I leave first the place and wait him in the woods.

I saw him acting like having trouble to walk. I rolled my eyes and holding my laugh.

"Why did you need to change?" I ask in low tone.

"Just watch little lady." He said.

I burst in laugh in his tone. Its real old man. I glance to my watch its 11:50 am.

"Wait a second." I said.

I start my spell. Taking the powder in my bag. Place my bag down because I don't want the old man have a back pain.

I hold some powder in my right hand. I closed my eyes and chant in my mind. I raised my right hand and open my eyes to see the light of the moon. I request for the blessed from the moon. The powder shine like a tiny pieces of diamond. My request graduated and its now on my cue.

I closed my eyes again. Raising my hand with a powder. I throw it up and I spin around. The shinning powder now stick in my whole body. My skin absorb it and heat run through my skin. The smell of rose fill my nose.

I open my eyes and smile. Mouthing 'Thank You' to the moon while looking at it.

"All done?" He ask. Interrupting me.

I hold my laugh to him still because in his voice. I nod with grin and walk to the woods.

We decided to travel south. The goblin is easy to fool and the place is easy to travel. On the other hand we don't want to deal with the witch right now.

My fireflies want to flew around but some creature will notice us. So I let the light of moon guide me.

On the other hand, Peter have his own stick glow. He used it as a guide to see the path. We are travelling slowly due to his form. I don't know why he change in an old man. I'll be happy if he change to a baby.

Specifically, cute one and adorable.

I look to my map if we were in the right way. The sound of leaves pressed by our shoes in each step filling the deafening forest. We were in the right path.

My boots adding time before I feel the pain. Its kind of heavy one but I'm train to this kind of boots. Its nearly a combat boots but its more on mountain climbing boots.

I look around while walking, boredom filling me. If I scale my step to Peter. My step is twice of him. I let out a sighed in boredom and slow movement he make.

Dark forest, dry leaves on the ground, cold air. Overlapping branches making like a wall of woods.

Why?

Why Peter need to shift in an old man form?

A thought that sting to my mind. I turned my gaze from woods to his back. A old man walking slowly with a stick like torch.

I sigh heavily to able to catch his attention and ask.

"Why do you need to transform in an old man? We were traveling slowly."

I spread my arm, raised eyebrows while asking him.

He didn't even pay attention to me. He still walking to our path.

I decided to run to him and tap his shoulder. I'm already opening my mouth to ask him.

"We are here. We need to stop here for a while and continue to walk again." He say cutting to my action.
