The Witch & The Princess

The Witch of The Woods

Shelby's Perspective-

I looked around, flying on my broom.

I was sent here to help people.

To prove that I could be a witch.

I passed over some villages.

One village full of color and llamas.

The other was full of animals. Frogs, pandas, bats, and foxes!

They were all very cute.

And I passed a village that was full of red, orange, and yellow.

There were also many bees there.

Each town was beautiful and had their own specialty.

I wanted to land and talk to each person who ran them, but I didn't have time.

I must find a forest to set up my hut before it gets dark.

So I kept on flying, looking for a spot.

-

It was getting dark, and I was getting nervous.

I was flying over a mangrove forest.

The trees were thick and there was some fog around.

But eventually, I found a clearing and landed.

This'll have to do. I thought as I looked around.

There was a river that led to the ocean and there was the perfect spot for my house to go.

I grabbed an axe and started chopping down some of the trees.

I collected the wood and got started on a little house.

Nothing fancy as I would probably make a new one tomorrow.

But as long as it would get me through tonight, it would do.

As I was building my house, I heard a ribbit.

I yelped and fell off of the wall.

I groaned as I rubbed my back, which fell onto the muddy ground.

I then looked around for what made the noise and saw a frog.

It was a white frog that was a bit bigger than my palm.

It tilted its head at me and ribbited again.

I sighed, "You can't scare me like that."

I got up and dusted off some of the mud that got on my outfit.

I then slowly crept over to the frog.

"I'm Shelby!" I greeted, smiling.

The frog blinked.

"I'm new here. I'm supposed to be a witch that helps everyone out!"

I set down my palm and the frog booped it before stepping on.

I smiled, "Every witch is supposed to have a familiar, which is like a pet. Do you wanna be mine?"

The frog croaked and I squealed.

"Great! I'm gonna call you Tortoise, you okay with that?"

Tortoise blinked and I smiled.

He then hopped up onto my hat and I giggled.

"Here," I said, lifting up my hat so he could go under it.

I felt him settle onto my head and I smiled.

"I need to finish up my house, but then we can sleep." I said continuing to build.

Eventually I finished and walked inside.

I stretched and yawned as I put down a bed.

I took off my hat and took Tortoise off my head.

I smiled as I saw that he was already asleep.

I then cuddled up in my blankets before falling asleep.

I didn't know how big this job would be.

Trying to be there for everyone as well as myself.

But hopefully I could pull it off and still be able to go to the academy.
