The Magical Herd

"Well, well. Now who do we have here. The little children playing with their newfound friend?"

"Oh, hi to you too Diaadul," the pair said with very little enthusiasm.

"A human. How unusual, but then the two of you do somehow manage to gather up all the strange and unwanted things wandering about our forest making a nuisance of themselves. Where did you find this one."

"Oh leave the human alone. This traveller just wanted to explore our Realm, not cause trouble. If you like you can leave now and not be bothered," Ashe said in your defence.

"Now why would I want to leave when there's so much fun to be had here?"

Bellimae glared, "You're mean Diaadul."

"Yes I am, so what are you going to do about it little one?"

Bellimae dropped her head, obviously no match for Diaadul. Ashe could probabl fight her if he had to, but he wasn't going to do that unless he had to.

"Go on," he said to you. "We'll keep her from following you."

As you push your way through the brush, you hear Bellimae say, "I'm going to ask Arrishan if you're evil."

Diaadul laughed in return. "Trust me, if Arrishan has a single sensible thought in her head, that thought would be yes." You heard Bellimae gasp at this and felt sorry for the poor young thing, but by now you were too far to hear Ashe's response.
