Chapter Nine

Arriving at the workshop on the hill overlooking Christmas Town, Meteor stepped inside of the workshop where he saw the elves hard at work making toys for good little boys and girls back on Earth. Meteor saw Santa standing up on an upper landing and he focus his trip up to where Santa stood to talk to him. When he landed near Santa, he said, "Good afternoon, Santa. Thunder said that I should ask you about the magic using reindeer called Salena. I met a doe who was using that name and she taught me some magic. Thunder said that she couldn't have been Salena since the last Salena died fifty years ago. He said you would know more about this."

Santa replied, She did die fifty years ago in an unfortunate accident. Her home was struck by an avalanche and she died instantly. Fenris was the one who found her body. If there is a doe using her name and using magic, then you should be very careful if you have any dealings with her from now on. What magic were you supposed to learn?"

Meteor told Santa the truth. "The ability to change into either my human form or my reindeer form on either side of the veil like the magic that you and Mrs. Claus have that permits you both to retain your humanity in Veil."

Santa then rubbed on Meteor's head fur. "I would suggest you go speak to a goat wizard here in the north called Adrian. Tell him that I sent you to him and then explain everything you told me to him and ask him to help you with the magic you need to know. You might have to do a few favors for him but when it comes to magic, he is currently the best animal magic user in the north next to Braymeister the donkey sorcerer. If you happen to meet Braymeister before you speak to Adrian, be polite and be honest with him. He may be a donkey, but like Adrian, he can help you. I would have suggested Stormella, but she deals in weather magic and wishes. To earn a wish, you would have to do something outstanding for her. You can find Adrian further north of here in a village called Ornament Valley. Braymeister lives in an old tower up on Sleigh Run Peak. My yearly flight goes right by there every year and each year he waves with a smile. He stays on the good list so he gets good presents every year. I hope I have been helpful, Meteor."

As Meteor emerged from Santa's workshop, he was about knocked over by Fenris. "Tag, Meteor. I found the lying doe. she tried to run away from me when I said the name Salena, then she threw a few spells at me and missed. Her real name is Dolene. Some say she used to be Adrian's apprentice."

Meteor said, "Santa suggested that I speak to either Adrian or Braymeister to learn magic from. And how I should avoid that doe from now on."

Fenris said, "Since Santa said to avoid her, you best go speak to Braymeister. Dolene was fleeing toward Ornament Valley. And if you go there, you might encounter her. I'll escort you up to Sleigh Run Peak. Come with me." And he began padding off through the snow with Meteor following him.

When they arrived at the base of the tower, Fenris pulled on a rope cord next to the door and then he waited. After a few moments, the door opened, and they were greeted by a donkey walking on his hind legs. He wore a sorcerer's robe and held a book in one hand. Although he looked young, he had the appearance of a donkey boy of the Lampwick variety. "Ah... Fenris. "I have been good. What can I do for the Secret Police on this fine afternoon?"

Fenris pulled out a small bag of gold coins and pressed it into Braymeister's hands as he whispered the request into the sorcerer's ear. "Dolene seduced this nice reindeer, restore his virginity for him. This is your payment. Aside from that, Santa is vouching for this reindeer so he can learn transformation magic from a reliable source. Santa mentioned your rival Adrian and yourself as being the best two to teach Meteor here. If you have further need of me, Meteor, just call into the forest and say my name."

Before he could depart, Braymeister caught him by the fur of his chin and said, "Dolene took over Adrian's workshop recently, after Adrian disappeared. I suspect foul play, but I have no proof, Fenris. Tread carefully." And he let the wolf go finally before bringing Meteor inside and closing the door. "I would be glad to have you as my apprentice, Meteor. Then I could teach you all the magic you needed. I can use magic through a blessing from Lady Aurora herself. And once I help you to attain that blessing, Meteor, we will talk about your apprenticeship to me. Would you be willing to have me as your master for learing magic? I haven't had an apprentice in several years. But I know the ritual for making it official. I just hope you don't get upset when we make it official."

"So who was your last Apprentice?" asked Meteor out of curiosity.

"A nice reindeer named Lustre, with the 'E' at the end of the 'R'. He excelled at magic use under my guidance. When his apprenticeship ended, he moved back into Christmas Town to open a reindeer specialty Bucks club on one of the back streets. One of his biggest customers is a stunt reindeer called Donder. He is Donner's twin brother."

Meteor smiled. "My dad back on Earth likes Donder. I am really a human boy back home. The magic I was wanting to learn is the kind that would allow me to use my human form here in veil occasionally and to use my reindeer form back on Earth, whenever I needed to. Santa said you could help me with that."

"I can. But only after you accept the apprenticeship. But first, I need to fulfill Fenris' request concerning undoing what Dolene did to you underhandedly. I get to restore your virginity. Which will get rid of your Buck in Rut scent that Comet likely said smelled good on you. But after we consummate the apprenticeship, Comet won't be able to tell who you've been with."

Meteor wasn't sure what was going to be involved in the ritual especially since the sorcerer implied it would make it so Comet couldn't tell if he had been with a doe or not.
