:Noe was cold. White Oak, she knew, had dropped leaves that would make a good blanket, and she hurried to gather some. She scooped armfuls onto her cape: one scoop, two scoops, three...a face.

::It wasn't dead, but it wasn't entirely alive. Noe eyed it, poked it, and whispered to it, but nothing woke it. Noe piled leaves around it. The creature was wounded and bleeding.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''
:::Night threatened, so Noe lay down beside the creature and pulled her cloak over them both. Next morning, she examined the wound. "I know what you need, little pea."
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''
::::As she searched for Weeping Milkcap, she whispered greetings to Shagbark and Lady Fern. She crawled under Holly, but Milkcap wasn't there. Then, Noe saw Milkcap, in a grove overrun with [[krait]].
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''
:::::"Danger, " she muttered. She crept to the grove's edge, whispered to Milkcap, and took several of its heads. And then, a krait threw a knife and caught her in the arm.
:::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''
::::::Noe fled into dense undergrowth where the krait wouldn't follow. Milkcap could fix her injured arm, but she didn't use it. Milkcap was for her creature. She placed it on the creature's wound.
::::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''
:::::::The creature opened its eyes, blinked at Noe...and bit her hand. Its sharp teeth drew blood. "Don't be afraid," she told it. The creature passed out again.
:::::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''
::::::::Noe cared for her creature. She stroked its ears and found the spot that made it rest easier. "When you're better, my pet," she told it, "we'll leave this place and have adventures together."
::::::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''
:::::::::Then, one morning, the creature opened its eyes. Afraid of another bite, Noe scooted back. "Welcome back to the waking world," she greeted. "I'm Noe, and you're my pet." Her creature blinked.
:::::::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''
::::::::::It blinked again and sat up. "I'm not your pet, you stupid fern." It looked down at its wound and Milkcap. "Hmph. Primitive. But effective."
::::::::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''
:::::::::::Noe's tiny creature stood on two legs. Its ears perked out from either side of its head. "I'm an [[asura]]. Not a pet." Noe smiled,
:::::::::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''
::::::::::::Her creature said, "I have to go." Noe watched her creature head off into the forest. "All right..." she said. A heartbeat later, she scrambled up and followed it. "...my pet."
