The Guardians

Alora lay on her belly, her legs raised in the air as she wrote in her notebook. Mimicking the words from the book, she practiced speaking them aloud. Her damp hair was tied in a towel, and her legs swung back and forth as she focused on her language exercises. 

Alora smiled as she wrote Magnus's name in her notebook, accompanied by a small drawing of him, completed with tiny fangs protruding from his upper lip.

Beneath the sketch, she wrote, "Alora Loves Magnus," in her notebook and smiled. Though she was weak in sentence formation, but it was easy for her to do the short ones. 

Alora set down the quill pen and closed the ink pot, signaling the end of her practice session. Today, she had decided to bake banana bread. She had learned from Izaak the previous night that Magnus loved eating banana bread, as it was easy for his body to digest.
