The Familiars were surprisingly good at baseball, and even with only four batters, they still had enough people to load the bases and play the game.

When someone was out or made it home, they just took the next turn at bat, and the game continued all day until the Witches started waking up, and Wolfe was as exhausted as they had been when the process finished.

"Wolfe, I thought I heard you laughing out here. What's so funny? Do we have visitors? Ella asked as she walked outside.

They had stopped the game for a moment so that they could start teaching Little Reaper how to bat, and the training was not going well. The creature was naturally incorporeal, and his timing to make the handle of his weapon solid was somehow terrible when facing a baseball while being impeccable against living targets.

All of his senses had been trained to hunt the living and to pass through inanimate objects so that they weren't an impediment, so baseball was completely against his nature.

"Oh, baseball. Yeah, he's good at catching but not so good at batting. Don't worry, Reaper, you're an amazing outfielder." Ella consoled her Familiar.

He really was. Reaper could use the shadow of the ball to transport himself and make it all the way across the field in an instant. If he was a bit more practiced, not many hits would make it to the ground.

They had already accounted for that, though, since so many of the team loved to play fetch but were too embarrassed to ask. The caught balls weren't out. You had to tag the runner or the base in front of them.

Reaper wasn't happy with his Mistress's consolation, but there wasn't much he could do about his instincts, and they didn't have forever. Now that everyone was waking up, they would have to return to their duties inside the city, and that would be the end of the game.

Most of the witches came and collected their Familiars to head back to the city, while Cassie and Ella waited with Wolfe so that they could discuss what had happened with the Witch who seemed to have reached her limit.

Nobody really knew what, if anything, could be done about it. But she was now very near the top of the first Rank, and she would be considered a very powerful Witch anywhere on the continent.

"What do we do next? I mean, I'm Rank Two now. Do I have to change duties? Is there something new expected from me?" The more powerful of the two witches asked quietly.

"No, I think that you can keep doing what you're doing. We never prohibited anyone from doing what they could, and the twins take the other shift, so I don't see it being an issue." Wolfe replied with a shrug.

"Well then, I guess we've just got it easy now that I'm more powerful. I'll be able to make more of the charms that the Myrrh Coven witches ask for instead of sending a message to the city to get what we need. That will be a huge difference in the time it takes to fill orders.

The twins already have most of the important reagents locked in a box out here, so we can just get them as we need them."

As they were talking, Wolfe heard the distant sound of someone approaching from the south, coming up along the edge of the forest.

Either Myrrh had gotten lost on their way and just followed the trees up, or it was someone from Morgana Coven coming to them with an order.

It wouldn't be surprising if it were someone from the Noxus Family or the Academy; he hadn't heard of any big orders from them in a little while, and both of them had issues of their own.

Soon after, the others heard the vehicles approaching as well, and the closer they got, the more obvious it was that there was more than one vehicle coming their way.

"It looks like we're popular today. Any wagers on who might have come to visit us in such numbers?" The first rank witch on guard duty asked.

Her partner smiled and patted her head. "I am guessing that with the direction they're coming from, it's one of the Covens. The villages wouldn't send so many vehicles when we just did their weekly delivery a few days ago."

Cassie and Ella nodded in agreement, and the group prepared their defensive spells just in case they were wrong.

Wolfe brought up armour spells for them all, while Cassie and Ella activated Witch Magic all around them to bring up vines and create quicksand in an instant if they were threatened.

Slowly, the convoy of military vehicles trundled into view, and Wolfe's [Detect Hidden] identified the drivers.

"Fluffy ears. They're locals. Possibly not nearby, but from the Frozen Wastes. They must have contacted someone along the way who told them that this was the appropriate entrance to go to for supplies.

If they're coming from the south, they must have come from the Southeast unless they're in Sylvan or Myrrh territory. We already make deliveries to the rest of the villages." Wolfe informed the group, who still couldn't make out the driver.

There were only two people per vehicle. They didn't bring an army with them. So, this had to be a deliberate supply run of some sort. The only question was where exactly they came from.

The convoy stopped a few dozen metres away from where Wolfe and the others were standing, and a small white-furred man with his hood pulled up over his head stepped out to greet them.

"Well met, people of the Fae Forest. We got a message from one of our people that you have supplies, all sorts of supplies and new things to help fend off the winter attacks from the Grand Dutchies." The man announced.

"Oh, who might have sent you a message? We don't get a lot of travellers from outside the region that we service." Wolfe asked.

"That would be my daughter, Kira. As I understand it, she's still with you." The man answered with a smile before removing his cloak and revealing the fox ears and one fluffy tail of a Rank One Kitsune demon.
