(Garnet: "Wizard Melicot is a reference to "House of many ways" by Diana Wynne Jones. Sorry for the short bits lately, I promise that there will be some decent sized ones soon. Also, some reviews would be nice, I found this and the last one a bit iffy and would like to know what you thought. Thanks and bye for now!")
She lead me into what look to be a living room. It was amazing. It looked as if the tree had grown to be hollow. I told her what had happened. "Ah, so your like that girl, Alice I think was her name, that "fell" into this world a few years ago." Alice? As in "Alice in Wonder land? "You said something about a feather, correct?" Khane asked. Even though she had the appearance of a child, she was obviously much older than me. That or she was the smartest 6 year old I've ever met. "Yeah, it's supposed to be magical and glows." She chuckled at me. "Do you know anything else? Color? Shape? Whether it has markings or not?" "Uh...no, why?" I asked and she started to laugh so hard I thought she was going to die from lack of air. After a few minutes she finally calmed down. "What was so funny?" I asked her. "You shall see what's so humorous, follow me."
She led me up a stair case that wrapped around the inside of the tree. It seemed like forever until we reached the top, which was also the top of the tree. All that was out there was a bunch of branches and Khane was no where to be seen. Were did she go? I looked around for a door or more stairs and found nothing. Then I heard something giggle behind me. It was Khane's voice, but when I looked around I was alone. "Sorry about that, go back to the top stair and turn right, then left." her voice echoed. I did as she had said and suddenly was in a hallway. "How did? What the?" I tried to finish my sentences but couldn't. "Oh that? It's a trick I learned from a Wizard named Melicot. My, did he have a bad lisp! Took me six tries to master this spell, and three were just because I couldn't understand him!"
She led me to door that had beautiful birds carved into it, and opened it to reveal a room filled with glass cases, each holding feathers of every size, color, shape, some had markings and some did not, but all glowed softly. Khane blushed a little and stared at the ground as she spoke. "This is my..um...collection." She walked past the cases and handed me a small box with a large green bird engraved into the lid with amazing detail. "That is Windom. Protector of this world. I once believed this was his feather but now," She smiled with such sad eyes. "Now, I believe this is one of yours." "M-my feather? What do you mean?" She started to chant something, her eyes glowed emerald green and a storm of green feathers surrounded me. "You shall know the answer to your questions soon. I am taking you back to the world you currently exist in. Goodbye, girl of feathers." her voice sounded much older, and it made me sleepy, I guess a little nap wouldn't hurt... I fell into a deep sleep.
