Mistake #2

As Jacob headed back to his grandfather’s cottage, he suddenly saw a dead hummingbird. At least it looked dead to him… He saw its wings and realized that it was the same hummingbird he saw earlier in the week. Of course, Othello wasn’t dead. She was just laying there unconscious because of the long flight back. Necromancy can bring back lives, yes. But once a necromancer falsely assumed one’s death, necromancy can go backwards on the spell. The hummingbird twitched a little and out fell a bottle. The love potion. The cork slightly moved when it touched the ground. Jacob, being very curious, wants to know what’s inside the tube. He uncorked it and took a whiff of the potion. He looked back at the hummingbird. His eyes started to get a bit hazy, dizzy in fact. Then, he lay unconscious on the leafy ground, next to Othello.

Othello woke up 1-2 hours later after Jacob collapsed. She thought Jacob may be hurt. She phased back into human form and ever so lightly, put her head on Jacob’s chest.
