A week ago, Lenora had thought that the most tedious thing on the planet was Thaddeus’ incessant lecturing accompanied by the stench of Barnabas. Now she would welcome those days back with open arms. As of late, the miserable old fart had decided she needed some more study time so this left Lenora locked away in her tower with the foul bird. Her task was to do nothing till she finished her reading. Which was an entire almanac about the uses of Newt Eye. After three days, she discovered that there were many.

This wouldn’t be so bad, but Barnabas had taking the “do nothing but read” a little to literally and whenever she tried to do anything else, such as sleeping, Barnabas would nip at her non-stop. Luckily for her though, she was almost done with only 400 more pages. Then, after some much needed sleep, she would turn her attention to something much more interesting for lying on her shelf was a little leatherbound book titled, ‘Arcanus Iratus’.

She knew she had enough built up rage. That bird will pay.
