When she asked What sort of friend the girl's face lit up. "Well, I ended up at a place where the trees twist together and reach almost up to the sky, and they were just like steps!

Or he tried to anyway, I might have squished him a bit." She offered her friend another apologetic smile. "Anyway we got talking and Abraxas came up, and I mentioned that you said others can ascend through great deeds, and he asked what sort of great deeds, and I said you would be the better one to ask because I don't know anyone that knows more about Abraxas than you do! So he came home with me. He's really nice mum!" Her tail beat a steady tempo at her heels. She looked back and forth between the two people she probably liked most in the whole world right now, hoping they would get along.
