Irel awoke to the feel of grass under her. She didn't know where she was, so she pushed up herself away from the ground, panicked, looking everywhere. She spotted the crazy guy she'd found in town. There were two mounds of earth on both his sides. The pretty girl with red hair stood next to him. Their backs were to her, and they hadn't noticed she'd woken up. Irel sat up, not quite knowing what to do.
Peppermint walked up to her. Irel started at first, because the white fox had appeared out of nowhere. Mint sat down and they looked at each other for a few seconds.
Medes came flying down from a nearby tree. He alighted in front of Irel. Mint nuzzled the girl's arm. The owl jumped on Irel's leg to rest his head on her shoulders.
Irel choked. "It's not fair."
