Fifty-Five
The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.

I follow Yohan as he makes his way outside the room.
He was picking up his rucksack from the floor and leaving some things behind in Judith’s table. The old woman was still snoring soundly on her own sofa. She must have been very tired. Yohan pulls tons of souvenirs and food items from his rucksack. I didn’t even realize he had a small shopping trip in Laguna. There were some scarves, caps, and even a small bottle opener. Not that it would be put

Even though your time on the job is temporary, if you do a good enough job, your work there will last forever.✾ I blink in surprise. “Kofi?” I couldn’t even believe my own voice. He was sick, how would he be able to travel with us? I voice out just that. “He’s sick, he can’t travel with us. He can’t even sit up all on his own when he’s in bed.” &

Trust a few, do wrong to none.✾ Judith smiles at me fondly, her eyes going to the direction of where I just came from. “I see you’ve met Martha,” Her voice sounded weak and croaky. When I look at her eyes, I see that it was a bit red. She was sniffing too, I guess her talk with Yohan made her more emotional than I anticipated. At least they were alright now, it would be a bad thing if we left and they still hadn’t made up. The old woman would be anxious, and she might not get the rest she needed. We can’t have mor

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness.✾ “Have you told Kofi about what would happen already?” Yohan stares at both Judith and I as we entered back inside the house. Gale was adamant that he wanted to stay outside and enjoy whatever breeze he was talking about. Not that there was any, it was hot as hell outside even though it’s close to night already. I would never understand how some people still chose to stay here even though there’s nothing here to offer them. Guess it has something to do with risks and unc
Rules and Roses Fifty-Nine
Family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.✾ “One of these days, you understand you would have to shift, right?” Tilting my head up, I’m greeted by the hut’s ceiling. It was brown and dingy. Cobwebs aplenty were formed at the corners. Interestingly enough, I’ve found it more entertaining to watch how a small spider was wrapping a bug, squinting my eyes I notice that it was a moth, in a crystallized white web cone. It probably got stuck there or something. Someone cleared his throat
Rules and Roses Sixty
If I know what love is, it's because of you.✾ Kofi wakes up a few minutes after dawn. We opted that he stayed at Judith and Gale’s house for the night. Since we did stay up late almost quarter of the night preparing things that we might need. Some time last night too, Yohan went out to hunt for some meat that the old couple could have. While waiting for the crop I gave Martha to grow. I also reminded them to give some to Martha, and if there were tons of extras, give some to the other villagers.
Rules and Roses Sixty-One
Explore a gainful uncertainty than to sit in a painful certainty.✾ I place Kofi in between my legs and made him hold tightly on the scarf I placed on Yohan’s wolf form. He didn’t agree with the idea before since it made him look like a pet more than a werewolf. That and Judith and Gale didn’t really know we would be travelling via wolf. It’s a good thing that Kofi still didn’t understand some of the rules and regulations of the world that’s why he didn’t so much as blink an eye when Yohan shifted. Kofi said he was used to him shifting, and it came a surprise to me because the older man was teaching the pup how to use his wolf.
Rules and Roses Sixty-Two
Any love or happiness given to anyone always comes back.✾ The moment I felt a cool breeze kiss my cheek; I knew we were closer than I had anticipated. Even though I promised myself that I wouldn’t doze off, I felt myself nodding away until I fell asleep. It felt like it was just a few minutes, however it feels like it had been hours instead since the sun is up right now. It was probably noon. Yawning, I notice Kofi looking at me with his big doe eyes again. He was shivering, even though he was already wearing the poncho I’ve made for him, his teeth were still clacking together, his shoulders shaking. Sighing, I pull him closer to me.
Rules and Roses Sixty-Three
A red rose is not selfish because it wants to be a red rose.✾ “Your arm?” I blink reluctantly at the woman in front of me. Biting my bottom lip, I slowly raise my hand and show her my wrist. She grabs onto it, pulling it towards her. She smiles at me, or I think she does, the only part of her that I could see either way was her lips, the bottom part of her nose, and everything below her ankles. Then she pulls a small sharp pen from her pocket, stabs it on my wrist, making me flinch. The pen starts turning red, and just like that sh
