Aspen was in the garden. with all the deliveries taking place the rose garden was in need of a lot oflove. whilst she may not have the magic or potions Ignacio had to encourage the growth she had her own magic and ways to help it. she tended to the roses tidying them up and giving each of them...
Open after anna
It had been over two years since Aspen had started working for the school looking afterthe grounds. she had grown used to the jobs she was expected and even was making her way into the great hall for food on most days. though she still caught and gathered her own food too...
Aspen chuckled as the man said that the kids needed some scaring. "maybe, but i am sure i am not the only one who can be scary. some of the teachers used to scare me when i was younger" she said.
she listened as he said that it was part of the job and that the headmaster was reasonable. "I...
aspen looked at the boy, no man when he said he was 25 and graduated almost a decade ago. he didnt look that old. or maybe she ad just been around so long it didnt seem that old. besides most people she had met were students. "I suppose I have been in the forest for over thirty years. I forget I...
Aspen watched as the boy put the litter in the bag he was carrying. she was a little surprised when he said he wasn't a student. "Oh. I'm sorry" she said. a little embaressed that she had missed that he wasnt a student. sometimes it was hard to tell who was a student and who was not when some...
Aspen had never been invited to a meeting before. Well she supposed she had. When the people at the ministry wanted to meet with her before she or the job. But she had a feeling that this meeting would be a lot different than that. More like the herd counsels she sometimes spied on when she was...
It had been a year since Aspen had started working at the school, at least in an official manner. as groundskeeper most of her jobs were to maintain the grounds, which included the gardens and the lawns as well as the forest. It was funny. in some ways all the years she had lived in the forest...
Aspen had been enjoying her job as groundskeeper. she liked the ability to wander the grounds, and even go into the castle. though it was larger and more intimidating than she had thought it would be being surrounded with all that brick. one day she hoped to draw up enough courage to attend one...
Aspen hadnt thought that she would be nervous. it was the first day of her new job. or at least the first day that students would be in the school. there was a feast and a ceremony. she had been looking forward to attending for weeks. getting to go into the school and eat with the students. and...
aspen smiled at the boys answer. it was a simple answer that rang with truth. not an excuse or a way to make themsevm better than they were . it just was. "Wood carving is a useful craft to like, and knowing the strengths of different woods is important, you can carve things out of most woods...
Aspen saw the boy jump and fluster patting his hair down. she didnt mind people having messy hair. hers often had some form of twigs in it. though she had learned to keep it mostly braided to keep it somewhat out of trouble. as the boy backed away raising his hands, she knelt down and even from...
It was winter. and there were surly several more important things for Aspen to be doing than skirting the edge of the forest looking for students. but it was the first few days since they were back and like most winter breaks she missed them. missed watching them through the trees and the sounds...
aspen tried to remember the boy from seven years ago. back then he must have been a foal. but now he had grown and was an adult. "that was a long time. im glad to see you again" she said as the boy explained that they had met.
aspen saw a girl step out of the shadows with bowtruckles tnagled up...
((oops both for account switch and for being slow to reply. I forgot to follow it. and then OSW happened and somehow my muse went nope))
Aspen heard the movement stop. The whole forest seeming to hold its breath for a moment. Aspen too paused. She had been in the forest long enough to know...
