Rite of Passage
From the Kid Witch Coloring Book (Dancing Cauldron, 2007)
It was the third day.
The night chill, the isolation, the stony ground had been tolerable, then unbearable. The hunger kept at bay by berries, nuts, wild eggs and even fat grubs - those were a lucky find. He'd hardly ever gotten any at home. His brothers always gobbled them fast. But one look at that fallen tree and he knew he could handle himself out here. He remembered his lessons, his skills, his strengths. Awakened his confidence.
Kindled his power.
He is ready to return.
