     As the morning sunlight streamed through the windows, Thoris stirred awake, feeling refreshed and energized for the day ahead. She stretched her limbs and quickly got ready, eager to bring her idea to life—the small pool for Milo.

After completing her morning chores, Thoris gathered the necessary materials: a large basin, waterproofing charms, and a collection of shimmering stones to create a magical ambiance. She selected a spot in her garden, near a cozy nook shaded by the branches of an ancient tree, where the pool would thrive.

With determination and a touch of magic, Thoris began the construction. She carefully cast spells to reinforce the basin's structure, ensuring its durability and resistance to leaks. She then adorned it with the enchanted stones, which emitted a soft glow, creating a serene atmosphere around the pool.

As the pool took shape, Thoris couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and anticipation. She imagined Milo joyfully splashing in the crystal-clear water, his tentacles aglow with delight. Her heart swelled with happiness at the thought of creating a special space for her beloved pet.

With the pool nearing completion, Thoris decided to take a break and tend to her own needs. She ventured into her kitchen, where the aroma of freshly baked bread wafted through the air. She took out a loaf of homemade bread, still warm from the oven, and carefully sliced it into thick, comforting slices.

Next, she retrieved the dried pieces of carp she had prepared earlier. They had been carefully seasoned and hung to dry overnight, resulting in flavorful and savory fish jerky. Thoris arranged the carp on a plate, its aroma enticing even her own senses.

With a steaming cup of herbal tea to accompany her meal, Thoris settled down at her kitchen table. She savored the homemade bread, its crust crisp and golden, and relished the delicate flavors of the dried carp. The meal was a testament to her culinary skills and the satisfaction that came from creating nourishment with her own hands.

After satisfying her own appetite, Thoris turned her attention to Milo. She retrieved the small pieces of dried fish from her pocket, carefully breaking them into bite-sized portions. Milo, sensing the treat, eagerly approached, tentacles swaying with anticipation.

One by one, Thoris fed the dried carp to Milo, savoring the joy that lit up his eyes with each morsel. The bond between witch and catopuss deepened with every shared moment and act of care.

With breakfast finished and Milo contentedly nibbling on the last of the dried fish, Thoris returned to the garden, her focus once again on the pool. She added the final enchantments, ensuring that the water would remain clean, fresh, and at the perfect temperature for Milo's enjoyment.

As she surveyed her completed creation, Thoris couldn't help but feel a swell of pride. The small pool shimmered with magical energy, ready to welcome Milo into its watery embrace. She could hardly wait to witness his delight when he discovered his new aquatic playground.

With a smile on her face and a skip in her step, Thoris headed inside to clean up and prepare for the unveiling of the pool to Milo. As she tidied her cottage and readied herself for the day's adventures, she felt a sense of anticipation and excitement bubbling within her.

Little did she know that this day would be filled with more surprises, discoveries, and magical moments, as her journey as a witch continued to unfold. 

Filled with a sense of adventure and the desire to explore beyond the confines of her cottage, Thoris pondered the idea of journeying to the nearest village, located 7 miles away. The prospect of interacting with other magical beings and sharing her crafted items filled her with excitement.

Determined to make the most of her journey, Thoris set to work immediately. With practiced hands, she fashioned 12 crystal spears, each imbued with a touch of her own magic. Their shimmering points were sharp and sturdy, capable of striking true. Additionally, she crafted several bows and sets of arrows, meticulously selecting the finest wood and feathers to ensure their quality.
