章節 16: Chapter 16 - Food for the Undead Sorceress
"Wakey, wakey," Sonder heard. It was Vell's voice yelling for her.
She did sleep for the night, and she did feel the usual dizziness one felt after waking up.
She yawned and crawled out of the tent.
Vell was cooking something on the campfire in a pan.
"You haven't eaten anything since I've revived you. Don't you feel hungry? Expect for Hiraeth's cube." He said.
"What?!" Hiraeth yelled, himself having a small plate with food on it. "What do you mean?"
"Oh... well... When we tried to practice Dico Magic, Sonder accidentally ate your cube. Don't worry, after she eats more you can get it back. I'm sure about it." Vell laughed it off.
"I don't want no damn poop cube. Oh, my dear, dear Elian Cube." Hiraeth stood up and pointed at Vell seriously. "You owe me, big time. You know what it was worth."
"Of course. What do you want for it?"
Hiraeth thought but couldn't think of anything, "I don't know. I can't think of anything at the moment. And you two better tell me that you've got some good results."
He looked at Sonder and Sonder looked at Vell, and he said with a smile, "Go on, tell him."
"I'm sorry, Hiraeth. I've swallowed the cube after it flew into my mouth."
"Aye, and how did that happen?" He asked.
"I think it did when I tried to lift it from the ground."
He softened, "So, you're a sorceress now?"
Sonder thought about and there was a clear feeling in her mind, or rather her stomach.
"Yes, I'd like to learn how to do magic."
"Very well, but for now, eat. You can't cast on an empty stomach." Vell said.
She did feel hungry- if just a little.
"I've made a few things. Vegetables, eggs, fruit, nuts, bacon. What do you want?"
Thinking about eating, a few images of horror were conjured inside Sonder's mind.
She was an undead now. Was she not supposed to eat the flesh of the living?
She shuddered, "Is it a problem if I don't want anything that came from a living being?"
"Of course," Vell said and handed her a plate of vegetables and fruit.
"What about cheese and milk?" Hiraeth raised a point.
"I don't think Sonder would have a problem with them if we got them through harmless means, right?" Vell asked.
Sonder had to think about it. She wouldn't want anything else to be hurt just to feed herself, and then she looked at the things on her plate.
Weren't plants and trees from which those vegetables and fruit came from also living things?
As she was just staring at her plate, Vell gently said to her, "Sometimes you shouldn't think too much about something."
She took a slice of an apple and then began to eat. It tasted nice, even if it was duller than she remembered.
And yes, she did drink milk and ate cheese, but only after Vell and Hiraeth confirmed that no cow was harmed in the making of the food.
