A small and I do mean small group were walking together. They had noticed that lately fruits and veggies were coming up missing. The much needed sustenance of the large community for this winter.<br/>A raised hand and silence reigned and no movement. Minutes passed and nothing more could be heard during this time. Sharp eyes watched the scene as it unfolds…..<br/>A male had crept into the garden and stolen some veggies as well as a few fruit. She did need some help in the garden but could she trust the man? She needed someone who would be a good salesperson, know the people in the outside world and could deal with them. Someone who needs a position and maybe a place to stay…….<br/>As various thoughts came to her about the past scene, she noticed that the magic was lacking. Holes had developed in the barrier that surrounded her world. Not great big gaping ones but small numerous ones that would take a good many hours to find and replace. Which was not an easy task but when it is not your own magic, it is harder to patch the magic holes. She would have to destroy the old barrier carefully before raising a new one. That would take time to do and it is best to do with the utmost care.<br/><br/>Decisions were made about the next night for after all, first things first. The veggies had to be harvested early and the fruit as well. The animals will eat well but what else could she do? The process of removing the veggies started. She would begin to work on another project. To extend her property line and fence it off with not only a visible barrier but with a magical one.  She knew that a warehouse would be needed and while her crew began their work, she went to the back of the property and began to walk off sections that would be used.<br/>She worked the rest of the night and most of the day on the first step of her new home. When she finished, it was time to rest so that she could catch a their the next evening. One who would be her ‘assistant’.
