A Taste of Forbidden Smoke

So that was how he was always able to find me. XXX It was a week later I was tracking Pops through the forest hunting for him in our latest ‘war game’. “I’m so sorry I forgot you!”
My mother leaned over me, “It’s alright my son, rest, all is well.” I nodded as I again felt the welcoming darkness swallow me. “How long?” I said in a squeaky, low, raspy voice. I could feel the heat of her skin against me. I don’t think that they would dare try anything with him here.”
I tried to smile as I felt and saw Naci’s image and voice start to fall further away. Nodding his head yes at Pops, I thought Pops was about to yell out in happiness. I could feel the heat of her skin against me. “By the great creator daughter! Use it as often as you can I dare say that it will stay with you.”
Pops eyes showed shock when Merlin smiled at him.
