A Enchantment

Dustfinger

The next day they woke to sunshine beaming through the gaps in the long beams above them. Megan went to the window and opened the blinds, and looked out. She could see fairies, beautiful fairies with blue skin, and sparkly wings shimmering in the sunlight, swooping through the sky. She saw a fire-eater walking through the creature filled forest. He stopped in a clearing, it was a big circle, it was almost perfect in shape no trees were in this clearing. He put down the ruck sack he was wearing and started playing with fire, it looked like he was dancing with it. The flames danced up his arms, he was talking to it. He then made flowers out of the flames, they made it look like fire wasn't harmful. Like it was your friend.
She looked away from the fire eater and woke Matthew up. He sat up suddenly, making Megan jump in surprise.
"Where are we?" he asked, not fully awake yet.
"We are in the book still, were in InkHeart, you know the book. we got magic dust and poof here we are?" Megan said
"oh yeahhh! now I remember" Matthew said, Megan rolled her eyes. She she tried to tame her hair by running her fingers through it but gave up and just tied it up in a hair scrunchie she had on her wrist. They went downstairs, payed for the night and bought a bottle of water. They headed out to set of towards the village. She saw the fire eater look curiously at them. He now had a boy, around there age with them, and a curios creature with them. It was a martin. The man looked at there clothes, they obviously will stand out in the crowd they thought. He approached them slowly, signaling the boy to follow.
"You aren't from here are you?" He asked
"We are from far away from here, do you know how to help us" she asked "Help us get back home I mean?"
"Yes I do, and I will. Only if while your here, with me, you help me earn money." he said
"We will help you, but how?" She asked, Megan glanced at Matthew he was shaking his head at her
"We can trust him" She muttered " You have read the book as often as I have, and you know his character" she then turned back to the man, trying to be polite even though she knew the answer.
"What is your name?" she asked
"I am Dustfinger and this is Farid" he said pointing to the boy, then pointing to the martin "And this is Gwin. You are?"
"I am Megan, And this is Matthew" she said
"OK I can teach you Matthew how to play with fire like i do. And Megan you can find us food, places to sleep etc" he said
"OK" both of them said simultaneously
