The little mouse found itself at lost without the scholar who was its constant companion. But since meeting the witch of the forest, the little mouse never left her side. Following her around as she goes, from the little hut to the gathering all the odd things that they see in the forest.

And at night, the witch sings a lot of songs for the little mouse. From songs of happiness, love, adventure to treason, hate and sorrow. All of this things, the mouse listens with avid interest.

Then on some nights they would meet other living beings in the forest's clearing with the full blessing of the moon. Once or twice when the moon was in its full glory, the little mouse would meet the celestial being residing in the moon. She would descend to listen to the residents and would make sure to balance the magic of the world.

But some days, the little mouse found itself staring at the lake and wondering of the fate of a dear friend, feeling a longing to know. The witch seeing sadness from the little mouse was concerned. On the 400th day of long seperation, the little mouse asked to visit a friend.

The witch readily agreed and even gave the little mouse a necklace to help on the way. And off the mouse go with lingering doubt to go with a little wave but never a farewell to reunite with a dear old friend.
