Prompt Word: Fish
Minervie and Chip 23
Minervie came through the back door of her home to Mindy brewing herself a second pot of tea, “I’m back,” she called.
Mindy looked up as Minervie was dragging a very large bag towards her workroom. Mindy said flatly, “This place suddenly smells of rotten fish. What ever is in that bag?”
Minervie responded, “Not every monster in the woods agrees to cooperate with my survey, and today there were seven. I’m not sure which one is to blame though.”
Mindy wondered, “Did you bag a kelpie?”
Minervie replied, “No, but there’s a fair chance one of these recently ate one, I guess I’ll have to check the stream a with a bit more care tomorrow.”
Mindy tilted her head, “You going back out tomorrow?”
“No worries Mindy, tomorrow Chip will be coming with me. I’m going to have him fix up that Treant, since the treant claims Chip name bound him,” Minervie said cooly.
Mindy looked towards Chip’s room with concern, and said, “You think he’s ready?”
Minervie sighed deeply, “No, no, no, but if he really did name that treant, he’s got to be ready.” Mindy continued more quietly, “After that demon tried to claim him the other day, I thought something might be up, but I had hoped it was just about that spider.”
