It wasn't a miracle to learn Brine has gotten comfortable living in a woodland mansion. It's been weeks since he was introduced to the inhabitants of the mansion since he has been introduced to M. M was teaching him basic magic, he wasn't the only one teaching him. M introduced him to a witch, she was scary but M there with him he felt safe.

The witch introduced herself as Agnes. She taught him all about potions and how to make them. Brine wasn't interested in potions in all honesty, but if it helps him get powers he'll do it. The only thing he has been able to do was to grow flowers.

Brine let out a sigh as he relaxed near a stream, his eyes were shut as M was sat nearby, reading a book of some sorts. Brine opened his eyes and rolled onto his side, staring at the fish swim through the water. He lifted his hand towards the water and imagined it going up into the air. The only thing that happened was a ripple effect on the surface of the water before he retracted his hand.

"You'll be able to do that eventually," M commented, his eyes never leaving the pages of the book.

"What are you reading?" Brine asked sitting up and looking over at him in curiosity.

"A spellbook for feather falling." He answered.

"What's feather falling?" Brine asked tilting his head.

"Feather Falling is a spell and an enchantment that reduces damage from falling and damage from ender pearl teleportations. It gives you the feeling that you're floating to the ground." M explained as Brine's eyes lit up.

"I want feather falling!" He exclaimed excitedly causing M to chuckle.

"You will one day. You might even be able to fly someday." He joked, but Brine didn't take it as such.

Brine stood up from the ground, excitement filled his eyes. "Can we try right now!?" He asked, bouncing in place in front of M.

M let out an amused chuckle as he shook his head. "You still have a lot to learn before we try anything like that." He told him making the child pout.

When they went back to the mansion, the night was drawing in and fear went through him as he saw an Enderman at the entrance of the Mansion. He buried his face against M's side as they walked towards the entrance. He had fantasies of saving people from Endermen, but now that one was in front of him he felt terrified. He felt the burning gaze of the tall creature looking down at them. He jolted as M rubbed the top of his head. "It's alright, they won't harm you," M reassured him making him look up at the Enderman.

The Enderman looked down at him, their purple eyes looking over the boy, it felt strangely calming. A blush appeared on the Enderman's face as they looked away. Brine giggled a little bit at their behavior. "Don't look into their eyes for too long, it makes them self-conscious," M informed him nodding his head at the Enderman before walking with him in the mansion.

Brine couldn't help but glance back at the Enderman anyway seeing them teleport away. "Is that why they attack people? Because they're afraid they're being judged?" He asked looking up at M as he nodded.

"Everyone has reason to attack people. Zombies attack and transform other things because they want company. That's why they are usually in clusters. Skeletons attack because they're afraid of becoming close with someone living because eventually they will die. In their eyes, it's better to scare them off before they have a chance to be friendly with them." M explained.

Brine nodded in understanding. "Why do slimes attack though?" He asked.

"Slimes attack because they love living things, especially when they multiply by being attacked. They're confused between hugging and killing." M explained with a sigh.

"Can't we all live in peace?" Brine asked blinkin up at M as he was led to his room.

"We try, but there are some people who like to cause trouble." He told the child.

Brine nodded and frowned slightly, thinking about his experience with troublesome people. "Good night, Brine."

"Good night." Brine said as M left his room and Brine closed his eyes.
