Snippet #8972

I watched the younger Magisprits, listening to the woods around our lake. As the water Magisprit mother, I had to pay attention, and protect, my younger Magisprits. I was responsible for them, so I had to make sure nothing happened to them. Something was wrong, though, I could sense it, and I knew the others could, too. They were all tense, and kept jumping at the slightest of sounds. Was someone suddenly deciding to attack, or was it just someone watching us from the trees? Either way, someone was there, watching us. Whoever it was was making the rest of us nervous; usually people just walked into our clearing, headed straight to out lake. Why wouldn't they show themselves? I kept turning to the forest to see if I could see anyone, but I couldn't.Whoever they were, they were hiding themselves very well.
