Mom came out early the next morning looking a bit tired. We all told her she needed to go back to bed. She told us she couldn't because she had to send out the trinket so the hounds could chase it. She asked Lilly to take her out to the spot where the item was found. Gabriel was proud to go with them to keep them safe and show her the spot he found it.
They all came back an hour later, mom was so tired she could barely stand. We got her up to bed and tucked her in. She was asleep before her head hit the pillow.
Both Lilly and Gabriel told us everything they helped her with. It sounded like a lot of work to send it out. Lilly started out by saying," Once we got to the place Gabriel pointed out Arianna dug out a little hole. Then she dropped the piece into it. She opened this bag she brought with her and dumped it into the hole as well. After that she started saying a spell. As she neared the end of the spell she lit the stuff on fire. When she need the spell there was a flash, smoke rolled out of the hole and drifted into the air. I looked down and there was nothing at all in the hole. She then covered the hole said another spell and we came back here."
For Gabriel's part of the story he told us," She has me collect only certain leaves, berries, twigs, and flowers. After I gave them to her she put them all in a bowl she pulled out of the bag then she crushed everything up at put it in that bag. She asked me to hold it while she dug the hole. I offered to do it but she said she has to. I then saw her prick her finger before she started the spell she added three drops of blood before she put everything in. After that it was like Lilly said. In the end she said thank you to both of us and we got back in the car and came back here. She was drifting in and out before we got here so we knew she was exhausted. Then you put her to bed."
"Okay guys thanks for the information. Gabriel can you write me out a list of what she had you collect please. I want to have some in reserve just in case."
"Actually I don't have to write out a new list take this one. And I will get you another batch of the stuff now."
"Thank you that is very helpful. Now I think everyone should probably get ready for work or school or whatever. We will let her rest today."
After that we all got ready to go. Gabriel was still on maternity leave for Annie so he said he would watch over mom. I thought that was wonderful. Then we went to work, The teenagers went to school, and the guys worked on the next training lesson for this afternoon.
All day long I was sending Gabriel text messages to find out if mom was okay. I'm sure he was getting tired of hearing from me. But I was worried. I was very happy when my day was over. We got back to the house I stopped to ask Gabriel again how she was, then I went in and checked on her myself. She was still asleep so the rest of us did our training for the day. Gabriel decided he would teach today's lessons. After that was done I went in and checked on mom again. Then we started to work on dinner. When we sat down to eat mom came downstairs. I was very happy. I got up and helped her to her seat. And we had dinner. Shortly after that she went back to bed.
