Welcome to Witchling Academy!
Witches to the Left - Familiars to the Right
“It’s the first day of school! Are you ready, Fig?”
Woof!
Fiona adjusted his cape and scratched his head.
“I’ll miss you, boy.”
Then she went left. And he went right.
Gulp.
It didn’t take Fig long to realize he would never fit in.
He wasn’t as sneaky as a cat. Crash!
Or as creepy as a snake. Eww.
He wasn’t as spooky as a wolf. Awooo-cough-cough.
Or as crawly as a spider. Help!
He couldn’t jump like a toad. Or fly like a crow. The bats were way too cool. The foxes were way too crafty. And don’t even get him started on the rats. Eek!
Fig was just… Fig.
Sigh.
When the cauldron clanged at the end of the day, Fig walked out with his head hung low.
“Fig! Oh, Fig!”
Fiona hugged him fiercely.
“It was horrible! My potions wouldn’t bubble. My spells wouldn’t sparkle. I’m the worst witch ever!”
No!
He nuzzled closer.
“I’m so glad you’re here,” Fiona whispered.
Fig’s heart warmed.
Maybe he wasn’t the creepiest or the sneakiest familiar, but he was the cuddliest, snuggliest familiar.
And that was enough.
Fun and feel-good! I loved it
