5 Minute Freewrite Day 521: Wild

She wasn’t expecting this. When Boddynock told her to accompany him deep into the grasslands, she thought that the gnome was just going to make business with some shady character, one of those that always had that hard to find material needed for a complex project or spell. Instead, she got furry rodents that walked on two feet and spoke in a whistling voice.

The one called Hugo asked them for help in getting rid of a couple of Ogres that had made camp in their truffle harvest area, and there just wasn’t enough of the Groundhog-People to deal with that. The young elf doubted that hers and the tiny magician would be enough, but it was worth trying. Right?.

She wanted to believe in success, but when she posed her eyes on the two 3.5m tall figures, their wild and violent expressions barely at rest after stuffing themselves with the smaller creatures harvest and the carcass on an unfortunate elk, she swallowed hard, and took a couple of steps back. A familiar hand stopped her and her friend said, “Trust me little girl”, and she calmed just a little, and he came out of their hiding place, twirling a glass vial in his hands.
