Polite Disagreements

A New World?

The strangest thing happened at work today. Or I guess a few days ago. A woman came to me while I was doing my usual round of patrolling the forest, claiming that I had some potential and that I could help her with something. And then all of a sudden, I found myself at a cafe in a different country! Before I'd even said yes or no. Then there was that business with freezing everyone in the cafe. And then she just gave me and two other strangers tickets to Dubai. Then when we got there, I met a person who said they were a werewolf, and helped in a heist that turned out to be taking a woman. It frankly seems too easy. Or it was just a weird dream, and that I'll find myself in my cabin bed like nothing happened. Like there's a catch. I still don't really understand what my 'potential' is, or even what she...they? Wanted of me. Clearly these folk are powerful in ways I don't even understand. Guess this "magic" stuff is real after all. Lord knows what mess I've gotten myself into. Or maybe I can just forget all about this stuff, if I decide it's too much. It's so far outside what I know. But maybe I could do something with this power, if I get it myself. What would I even do with it? Make the forest bigger? Change it somehow? For now, I'll just have to smooth over my absence with my boss once I get back home. I've been good about being there and honest. They'll just accept I was "sick", I trust.
Downtime

A Return to the Quiet Life--for now.

Time has passed and I keep thinking about that Contract. There is much I don't understand about it, but clearly there is something to this supernatural stuff beyond my understanding. Yet it almost feels like a dream, and since I have spent a good chunk of time back in my comfortable quiet forestry work. But maybe my real problem is that I'm not being ambitious enough...
