“Oh, Othello! Look at the beauty! The nature that surrounds us all the time. It’s wonderful!”

Othello smiled. She loved Maria because Maria loved everything. She was such a sweetie that she can’t bear to leave her alone in the dangers of the woods.

“Maria, dear. It’s time to go home. You don’t want to be in danger now, do you?”

Maria sighs but listens. She phased back into a lovely sparrow and flew away. Othello was about to phase back when she heard her name being called. A male’s voice.

Othello turned around.

“Jacob!”

Jacob smiled at the girl for remembering his name.

“Who were you talking to?”

“Oh, I didn’t see you. You saw it? I was talking to my best friend, Maria. She’s a sparrow but I can understand her. She’s so sweet.”

Maria, the name brings back memories..

“Maria… she’s your friend?”
