Kalidor smiled as he watched the girl take to her new home.  "I'll get you something to eat.  It won't be long, my dear."  Then he moved to where Koliama was sitting and strokes her hair like a cat.  "I don't think I need to tell you to protect her with your life, do I?"  He grinned and kissed her cheek gently.  "I didn't think so."  Turning toward the mouth of the cave, he took to the air and was soon gone.<br/><br/>His absence lasted perhaps ten minutes, when he returned with a small slain animal and a bunch of dry, gnarled branches.  "I couldn't find any fruit, I hope this will do for tonight."  With the help of his magic, it was a simple task to clean the animal and prepare the fire, cooking a meal for his virgin prize.
