Chapter 95

It turned out it suited most people to chill for the morning and then leave at noon time. I worked on a magical solution to the evil eye problem. I wasn't even confident of removing it at this point, at least, not in a way that wouldn't cause permanent harm to Umbra. The evil eye had truly attached itself to her in the few days it had existed.

So, I could brute force the problem, if it came down to it, but I wanted a solution that was best for Umbra. I made no progress for there was nothing my own magic could tell me to fix the problem. I needed the advice of others more experienced in magic, but who?

I felt I had wasted the morning.

At noon, we walked into 'town' with Morgana leading the way.

Samiya pointed and said, "That man has iron teeth."

"Don't be silly…" I began to speak, but I did follow her finger.
