The weather at the end of October was comfortable — neither hot nor cold. Tara was feeling better by the day. Ever since she arrived at the Reed family's residence, her previous symptoms of a cold had been gradually improving.

At first, Josie Reed was, naturally, incredulous. As much as Tara tried to explain and show her the Dragon Beast totem on her arm, Josie remained skeptical.
