3 Dire Lullaby

CHAPTER 3

Dire Lullaby Lucas, Clara, and Ruskin all sat on pillows beside an enchanted blue fire. The magical flame was cool to the touch, yet still kept them warm. Grom stood on the other side of the room, muttering a spell and tossing herbs into a simmering cauldron. The fumes began to shimmer and turned into a swirl of light that encircled the entire tent. It was a protection spell. "Do you think he'll use a spell to find the attackers too?" Clara asked. Lucas took a marshmallow from the bag next to him and slid it onto a stick. "No doubt," he said as he twirled the

marshmallow over the blue flame. Clara grabbed the bag away from Lucas. "How can you eat at a time like this?" "We are camping, after all," said Lucas. "And it's not really camping until you eat melted marshmallows with troll chocolates."

Clara tried not to smile but couldn't resist. The warm feeling didn't last long. Another dire wolf howl rang out in the distance. More howls answered back. "Why are the dire wolves still howling?" Lucas asked Clara.

"I have no idea," she admitted, "but I know where we can find out." Clara tossed a marshmallow to Ruskin, who happily ate it, and then she jumped up and pulled Lucas with her.
