Once Eliza had finally found the outer buildings of the castle, she spotted the pasture. The rolling grasses and clean breeze was really refreshing so she was glad she had found room in her schedule for the class. Seeing that other students had already arrived, she knew she must be in the right place.

The students were all staring at who must be their professor, a witch that was on the ground, picking worms out of the dirt. She must need to feed something later, she assumed. She didn't want to disturb her, but thought it best to say hello anyway. "Hello Professor!" she called as she crossed the pasture en route to the other students.

She bounded over to a vacant spot of grass and plopped down. She wondered if they could take off their shoes here too. The thought of cool grass between her toes sounded wonderful right about now. She looked at the other feet in the area and didn't see any bare ones so she decided to keep laced up, for now. What she found even more enticing than the grass was the row of covered cages. I wonder what's in those... she thought to herself. She leaned back on her hands, feeling the blades tickle and brush against her fingers. This outdoor class is just what I needed, she thought. She'd loved her other lessons so far, but being out in the open with nature all around her was where she really liked to be.

While she was waiting for the lesson to start, she was having an increasingly difficult time preventing herself from grabbing a long stick to carefully lift the covers off of those cages. She was extremely curious, but she knew she'd just have to wait.
