The Second Somoning

Spiret Anamalls

Liz stood under a tall tree in her homeland of Eura.

"Liz, daughter of Dave, receive the Nectar of Ninani."

"Thank you" she told the Greencloak. She closed her eyes and drank. It was only a small sip but it tasted of strawberry milk, something her mother made when they had strawberries. It tasted most like Dara's milk. The cow hardly gave them any but when she did Liz was always allowed some. It was her favourite. Before she knew what was happening, two flashes lit up the sky. Liz felt her head spinning. She could see and hear clearly. And then she saw it. A fox, sitting watching her in wonder. She reached out a hand and touched the fox. She felt better but her body was still tingling. Then she noticed a lizard. It was tiny and ugly. It had big red eyes and looked like something out of a fairytale, like a dragon crossed with a monster. She blinked at it, then it nipped her finger. The buzzing stopped as the all animals looked at her.

"What is that?" asked the Greencloak.

"I dont exactly know."

"How did it get here? It looks like it belongs out on the Hundred Isles."

"I think I summoned it" said Liz, her voice no more than a whisper.

"But that's impossible! You summoned the fox."

"Just what I was thinking."

"Can I get Lenorie here soon?" asked the Greencloak. She was new and this was her first Nectar Ceremony. Liz felt sorry for her, she had no idea what to do.

"What is your name?" asked Liz shyly.

"I am Sefora" she replied.

"Lenorie is at Greenhaven." sed a man.

"May I take you to Greenhaven?" she asked Liz.

"Yes, of course."

"Can everyone who knows Liz personally come over" she called Liz's friends and family came over. "Liz has achieved the impossible."

"Not fair!" said her brother All.

"She has, and I will be needing to take her to Greenhaven. Lenorie will know what this means. So many prophecies coming true lately." She turned to Liz. "I'll get you a mentor and a team" she said, then, taking Liz's hand, she led her to the boat.

"Wait, I need some of my things."

"Your family can bring you them. I need answers."
