Dear Diary,
I woke up at five o'clock. I was about to go back to sleep,
when I heard a moan. I jumped up in the air. I must have really did it, because I
hit my head on the shelf above me. Rubbing it, I tiptoed to the flap in the
tent. No, the moan wasn't from outside.
"Maryyyy..." moaned the voice.
I recognized it. "Fuegia, are you alright?" I asked.
"No..." she said. "My head hurts." She didn't injure it,
and I guessed right away that it was a headache.
We got dressed and went down to Dr.MacCormick's. I was
surprised to find Aliaranel awake, dressed, and helping. We had brought along Poena,
of course.
Anyway, when she saw us she was surprised. "Errr...Have you come
to help?" she asked.
"No," I said. "Fuegia has a terrible headache."
Aliaranel took one look at her and said, "Lay down Fuegia," but,
Fuegia didn't seem willing to lay down.
"No, it gets worse that way," she cried.
Then, I remembered that Aliaranel had said that a mint leaf or two
in water cures headaches. When I told Aliaranel, she said that Poena can get them. Poena
came back with three leaves. We put them in a glass of water, stirred them around a bit,
and gave them to Fuegia and she drank it. She did feel better.
We went down to breakfast in our regular fashion—Fuegia was
just fine—when I saw a door I had never
seen before. I looked at it. Fuegia asked if I had seen a door like that, and I
said no. We went in and I found that we were on the poop deck, but we didn't
see the door anywhere.
Was this another portal? I made a mental note to ask
Hilot about any more magic portals.
I am writing this at breakfast. I need to
finish eating quickly, because we a supposed to drop anchor at another spot,
nearer to the islands.
Here comes Mr.X he looks mad. Better run...
