Taupe relax while people celebrated even though she just survive a horrible encounter with a werewolf. Everyone that live at the town was drinking and partying while taking the time to meet Taupe and greet her.
Taupe wasn't much for talking, just wanted to rest, but was obligated to meet people and do small talk with the residents. After she was done she sat by herself looking at the ground still reflecting on her life events so far. Until a non-hobbit came up to her and started talking " I see you manage to make it here as I suggested to you. Honestly this is great. I heard from the doctor you were attacked. I guess those weapons I gave you came in handy." Taupe looked at the person wearing a hooded cape that covered her face and most of the stranger's body. "Are you the person who saved me at my house?" Taupe asked. "Yes, I had some business to take care of so I apologize for having to leave you alone. Ah I haven't told you my name yet, my name is Evy ,but people call me Evy the Savior. I manage to save a town or two from drought. Vanquish a small crowd of monsters,but I’m more concern about you"Evy said. "Now that i made it to Hidden Cove. What else am I suppose to do Evy?" Taupe asked. "Well I would like to take you in and help train you, be a teacher for you, but also provide a safe place to stay. First I need you to rest at the doctors for a day and then come to know these people and help them out for a while. I will be gone for a while so it’s best to make friends in the meantime. I will check up on you after I complete something on my list that needs to be done. I just wanted to check up on you before I go, assuming that you agree to my terms of me being your new teacher." Evy explained. "Wow, uhh this is a lot to take in at this moment" Taupe replied. "Yes, I can imagine for someone in your situation,but I must know your answer before I take off. If no, then you are free to do whatever you want to do. You can stay here for the rest of your life or travel on your own. If yes, then I will take you under my wing when I return" Evy stated. "I guess my answer is yes then" Taupe answered. "Good! Enjoy your party and rest up, a few of the hobbits will keep a eye on you for me so don't let me down on helping the people of Hidden Cove"Evy mentions before taking off. Taking Evy's advice Taupe went on to enjoy her party and went to the doctor's office medical room to rest up and recover. A new day has begun, while Taupe was sleeping the doctor barges into his own medical room. "Wake up Taupe! Time to get to work. Evy gave me instructions to wake you up early so you can get to work on helping out. Come back here at the end of the day o.k" the Doctor said. Taupe goes out and asks the town folks if they need any help with tasks around the town. Some tasks were easy or a bit time consuming while others were gross and outright deny helping that person. She went to see the doctor at the end of the day "Good work Taupe, Evy said you could stay here in the shack right over there. It has some food and water for you and a nice decent bed. Try and take it easy on your stay here. Be sure to eat three meals a day. Continue working until Evy comes back to pick you up whenever she is done with whatever she is suppose to do." said the Doctor. Taupe went to the shack and ate supper which was some soup mixed with meat and vegetables.The Doctor moved Taupe's stuff already inside for her so she didn’t have to worry about it. After Taupe finished eating and wash up she went to her bed to rest exhausted by today's work. Morning came and Taupe fixed herself some breakfast and went on to continue helping around the town. She help the elderly and play around with the kids. Everyone in the town knew her by name. This went on for about a month until Evy finally came back. When Taupe's day was finished she returned to her shack to see Evy is inside waiting for her. " I hear you been busy and the people trust you as if you where they’re own. I finished my task and am ready to take you on as my first student. You prove you can do the work,but now let's see if you can take my training"Evy said "Can I rest first and then go in the morning" Taupe asked. "Hhmm I guess it would be fair. You did work today after all, but we leave early in the morning. You can eat once we get to my cottage" Evy replies. Taupe and Evy went on to eat supper and then off to sleep. Evy woke Taupe up way early than she is used to and told her to prepare for the journey that it is quite a distance. Taupe did as she was told, a bit sad she wouldn’t get to say goodbye to her friends she made, but this is probably for the best. Evy and Taupe head deeper into the underground cavern,following Evy she takes a passageway that leads up up to the surface on the other side of the mountains only after walking for several hours. Once above ground they were meet with cold harsh winds.

Evy told Taupe to stick close why she cast a spell that gave off a warm aura to fight away the cold. "I always use this spell when making my way thru here" exclaimed Evy. Taupe got closer to Evy to stay warm as they continued walking. They left the mountains behind and reached a swamp area and eventually made it to the center where the ground was stable and the water was clean and seeing a big cottage that stands a big out with its weird design. "This is my house it's not much, but better than nothing. I will sleep in my room while you can have the guest room. I'll cook breakfast for us, but want you to watch me so you can learn how to cook for yourself one day. Afterwards you can spend the day sightseeing. Starting tomorrow we will begin your training so enjoy today while you can." Evy grins at Taupe showing only her smile and still hiding her whole face under the hood. Taupe gets situated to her new home and watches Evy as she cooks and happy to eventually eat. Afterwards Taupe takes her shield and sword and start to explore the nearby surroundings keeping the cottage in sight.
