danger. Thank you for your concern though, that's so kind of you," she said happily. Daniel nodded slowly then looked at her with wonder. She watched him stare at her for a moment then giggled again.
    "What is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked playfully.
    "It's just… I can’t believe that I found a witch so soon," Daniel said in wonder. He had thought he would have to travel for a good distance, day and night before he came across any monsters in the world. Yet here he was, having cookies and milk with one the day he had left his hometown. Alyssa looked at him bashfully and batted her eyelashes.
    "Do you like what you see, Daniel?" she asked softly. Triska looked at her cautiously then to her plate of cookies. Daniel smiled nervously and nodded.
    "Well, I guess. I mean… for a monster you seem… nice," he said with a shrug.
    "Thank you, Daniel. You're pretty nice for a human, cute too," she said with a wink. He smiled weakly then glanced to Triska, the teen looking at the witch with a dull expression.
    "Anyway, who were those guys that were trying to kill you? Were they just wandering thieves or something?" she asked as she glanced around the cozy home of the witch. Alyssa shrugged and took another bite of her cookie, chewing the snack with a happy smile as Daniel and Triska looked at her curiously. After she finished she looked to Daniel.
    "So, Daniel, where are you off to?" she asked, seeming to ignore Triska’s question altogether. He looked at her for a moment then smiled a bit.
    "Well, truth is we were looking to meet monsters like you," he said simply. Alyssa looked at him with wonder as she wiped the crumbs from her mouth.
    "You were? You wanted to meet me?" she asked curiously. He nodded and reached down to his bag, the witch watching closely as he pulled out his monster book. He opened it and flipped through a few pages.
    "Yes, we're on a bit of a journey to meet monsters and-" he started before Alyssa leaned over the table with a cute smile.
    "And?" she asked as she had her hands on the table and leaning closer to the boy, eager to hear what he was going to say next. He blinked then smiled weakly.
    "And to see if any monsters could be trustworthy, to be able to join humans in peaceful coexistence in the world," he said as he leaned back a bit. Alyssa looked at him funny then sat back with an amused smile.
    "Join you? To coexist?" she asked curiously.
    "Well, yes. You see there are some monsters out there that are very powerful and dangerous, to both human and monster alike, the Darker Ones of Eden. I have this belief that certain monsters and humans can live together peacefully. We can aid each other with our common enemies and help each other grow and prosper," Daniel said hopefully. He glanced to his book as he turned the page while Alyssa smiled at him curiously.
    "Wow, never heard of a human that thought of such ideas before," she said before she casually took another cookie from her plate. Triska looked at the witch curiously then to Daniel.
    "Well, Daniel's not like other humans; he's got more of an open and optimistic mind. But he is right though, mankind could use help surviving in this world, and so could other monsters that are threatened by the Darker Ones," she said in agreement. She then noticed Daniel was looking at a page in his book closely, his eyes going back and forth slightly as he was reading something. Alyssa giggled and looked at the boy with a smirk.
    "I see, so you came to talk about living together, just you and me, Daniel? I'm flattered," she asked with a sly smile. Daniel finished reading something on the page then glanced to Alyssa.
    "Well, not exactly. More like talk to your kind and see if such a peace could be achieved between us," he said cautiously. Alyssa laughed a bit then looked up with an amused smile. Triska looked at Daniel cautiously then glanced to the witch who was looking around at the gems hanging from the roof with a playful smile. After a pause
