Prompt Word: Compass
Minervie and Chip 66
“Miss Mindy?” Chip asked, nervously.
“Yes dear?” Mindy responded.
“Someone is in the wood, talking to Graendle, and I think they want to hurt grandma,” Chip said in a meek voice.
Mindy nodded, “Let’s call her.”
Peter jumped in, “What’s going on? How do you know someone is in the wood?”
Mindy stopped him, “Peter, write down your questions for later. Now is NOT the time.”
She picked up the receiver and dialed Minervie’s four digits.
Minervie answered the phone, “Hello?”
Mindy started, “Minervie, are you okay? Chip thinks someone wants to hurt you, and that they were just talking to Graendle.”
Minervie waved one of the soldiers over and suggested he listen, “Mindy. Slow down, and say that again please?”
“Chip thinks someone who wants to hurt you was just talking to Graendle in the woods,” Mindy repeated slowly.
Minervie said calmly, “Thank you Mindy. I am okay for now, though I have some wizards with me now, so I can’t chat.”
“I’m coming over!” Mindy was worried.
“Mindy, Mind the boys.” and she hung up. “Please repeat what you heard for everyone here. I don’t want secrets.”
The wizard named Jaz said, “Yes, that makes sense. Someone named Mindy said someone named Chip thinks someone who wants to hurt Minervie is in the forest and talking to the named monster.”
Meanwhile in the Gathering Wood, a wizard named Mack said, “This is serious, check your compass.”
Pierre pulled his compass from his robe, and saw it was spinning wildly, “Confirmed, magic storm.”
Graendle had a root sprouted out of the ground behind Marc, and through that said directly to him, “Are you a threat to Chip now?”
