The old woman

After a little while of walking, Minda and Levi arrived at the top of the hill where the cottage was and Levi held onto her arm and she smiled.

"I'll be fine," she said, looking at the time and seeing that it was already midday.

"Hello, is anyone at home?" She asked, and the door opened, revealing a pretty old woman with white hair who smiled at Minda and Levi.

"Your highness, come on in," the woman said, and Minda and Levi entered her peppermint-scented home.

"Sit," she said as she took them to her living room and they sat down while she sat on her wooden rocking chair.

"Thank you for seeing us," Minda said and the woman smiled. 

"I've been looking forward to seeing you my lady, there's no need to thank me, you are such a good soul, if only things were easier for you and your loved ones," she replied, and Minda frowned.
