Visiting the Shaman (2)

While approaching the cabin that was nestled between the trees and high bushes, Talia noticed that the front door was open.

She looked around and called, "Hello! Shaman Gideon! It's me, Talia. I came to visit you…"

No one responded, and Talia moved closer to the cabin. "Hello?"

The door was visibly newer compared to the rest of the cabin, obviously because Gideon replaced the one that Damon destroyed. Talia hoped that Gideon won't blame her for that incident.

After a slight hesitation, Talia pushed the door open and called from there, "Shaman Gideon? Hellooo…"

Talia wondered if something happened to him. Maybe that's why he didn't show up at the party or respond to the invitation. What if he was attacked by rogues? He lives alone, maybe it happened days ago!

The more Talia thought about it, the more she was unsettled.

"I'm coming in!", she called and stepped inside.
