Oblivious to all the rest of the fuss in the town, Utel was out in her garden, communing with her bees. She was proud that she had finally managed to get all of her plants in raised beds on her own, and was up early cooking for her large family and getting the gardening chores done.

In fact, she had managed to finally get her aspiration completed, as well, so the news that she would be able to learn more healing from Uacro was more than welcomed. It would give her something else to do to help contribute to the village’s well-being.

A Place for Winterfest

It only took a couple of days, and our new house.. actually looked like a house. …At least on the outside. And Julius had really outdone himself. It was easily the prettiest home in Sulani. Maybe I would start a new tradition of our family actually using an architect to design their home, instead of just placing boxes as they had enough money and hoping the house would look okay.

Chapter Eleven | Island Spirits Welcome page | Chapter Thirteen

The news that Saelua had died quickly spread in the growing village, and a feast ceremony was ordered for everyone to get together and mourn the all-important Village Mystic. Uacro, her son, was, quite obviously, next in line, because he was the only one with any training to do so, but he was still too young, so there was a sense of uneasiness in the village. What were they to do without their healer?

Utel showed up at the Temple early, and started the feast pit going, so that there would be plenty for everyone. Before long, the Temple was a buzzing hive of activity and everyone seemed to be thrilled for a day of celebration instead of the daily grind of surviving. Chief Guar showed up, and Utel brought him a plate of food near the large bonfire.

The Highs… and the Lows

I checked the weather before heading to the bus stop, and – by the time I arrived in the frigid city – I was certainly glad I had. After a quick morning call to Magnus’ father, he had mysteriously said he was working at the main firm in San Myshuno this morning, and asked whether I could meet him there. I didn’t really want to travel that far just to talk to him, but he sounded hurried and distracted, so I assumed it wasn’t the best day to ask him to do all the traveling. Maybe something was going wrong at the main firm? I pondered on it for a while as I watched the rain pour down on the windows of the bus, but before long, my other worries had pushed the curiosity completely out of my head.

I had been to the city before, with Mom, but I had never been to this particular part. I looked around, flabbergasted at the people that were all dressed in clothes that probably cost as nearly as much as my bedroom furniture was going to… and peered awkwardly at the directions I had penned on a now-soggy piece of paper.

Jaz slept fitfully, and by morning, was not in any better of a mood. Also, it was their day to help with chores, so cleaning out the toddler potty was first thing done after a quick breakfast, but before getting ready for the day.

WC: Day Sixteen < | Challenge Home Page | > WC: Day Eighteen

Saturday morning in the Judd household was crazy, but a silent sort of crazy. Everyone was tiptoeing around, trying to let Wendy sleep in. She rarely got to sleep in, and Matt was trying to let her take a relaxing morning while he took care of everything.

By the time school ended on Friday, Jaz was a nervous wreck. They tried their best not to be, but knowing that later was their first violin lesson was giving them considerable anxiety. What if the teacher didn’t like them? What if they couldn’t understand how to play the instrument? There were so many what ifs… Jaz tried to ignore it, but sometimes the mind has a way of running off on its’ own.

At least school was over for the week. Jaz joined the Judd house homework party after school, but was barely able to concentrate enough to get their math homework done. The rest of it was easy, but the math teacher had thrown some new concepts at them today, and Jaz’s brain just wasn’t in the right place to learn it yet.

Utel was getting along far worse than Nork. Instead of spending all their time fishing, she had a huge garden to tend, kids to watch, and meals to cook. Now, with Nork gone, all the handiness tasks also fell to her. Which included the broken toilet. After Nork had discovered how to make one, everyone had decided they were too good to use the bush, so the toilet seemed to break all the time.

WC: Day Fourteen < | Challenge Home Page | > WC: Day Sixteen

Another day in the Judd’s household – another hectic breakfast. And Jaz was happily in the middle of it, chatting about school with Penny and Wendy.

After breakfast, everyone scattered to finish getting ready for school, including Jaz. Then, they all scrambled for the bus, and Wendy looked around at the mess leftover from breakfast. With a sigh, she quickly rinsed the dishes, and put them all in the dishwasher to run.
