"How are you still not packed Izzy?" I yelled down the hall. I stood in her dorm which looked more like a dishevelled mystical laboratory. While admiring her many alchemical ingredients, magical components and enchantment tools, I caught my reflection in an extravagant silver mirror. I paused to study myself. My long blonde hair was perfectly held up by intricate braids, which showed off my small peaked ears. My soft make-up brightened my hazel eyes. A simple but elegant green dress with a brown leather waist cincher showed off my slender taught frame; comfortable clothing for the long journey we had before us.
Isabella entered the room handed me a ten foot pole with brass collars down it and started rummaging through a wooden trunk.
Perplexed I asked "What on earth do you need this for?"
"Don't worry, it collapses, the collars unthread." She assured me.
"It's so like you to pack everything but the larder wash basin." I chided her.
Sunlight shone through a large window and illuminated an interesting shape on her desk. I leaned the pole against the wall as I walked toward the glowing magical device. I picked it up to inspect it. It was about 8 inches long, translucent and smooth like glass, but weighed almost nothing. It was warm to the touch. The tip of the shaft was soft and rounded like a mushroom cap. Although it was clear, I could see and feel light blue veins pulse through it, a gentle ribbing along its smooth surface. As I handled it, the colour deepened and the veins became more embossed. I felt my nethers moisten and my mouth gape open in disbelief as I realized what it was. Attached at the base was a soft, supple deerskin pouch. I gently grasped the cushy sac which made a milky oil flow through the center of the shaft; spill down the head and onto my hand. I giggled aloud. Isabella looked over at me and blushed somewhat embarrassed but proud of the device she noticed I had in my hands.
"It's exactly what you think it is." Isabella grinned "It was a project for an enchanting class. From a mystical academic standpoint it's not that impressive, but it got me a course credit and it sure is a lot of fun to play with."
