The moment Bellus stepped into Magical Menagerie, there was an outbreak of noise, accompanied by a strong waft of foul smell. Bellus wrinkled her nose. The smell took her back to the time she had to clean away the garden that was invaded by a troop of gnomes. She and her sisters had to carry each struggling gnome and throw it as far as they could, and it had drained all energy from her for the day.
A screeching noise snapped Bellus back to her senses. An owl was perched above her, a white owl, its feather stood out from the other owls, which were all shades of brown. Bellus looked at the label. “Snowy Owl” It also told her that the owl was one of the most expensive owls. She wasn’t sure if she could afford it, so she moved on.
Another owl that caught her eye was a beautiful brown owl, with gold tufts on the edge of each feather. The owl was knocking an owl treat off the shelf. Bellus shifted out of reach just in time to dodge the massive spill of treats. The store owner came rushing out with a busy expression on her face. She flicked her wand and the treats went back on to its original location. She made a motion to go back. As she reached the door, the brown owl tried to knock the treat off the shelf again. In one swift motion, the store keeper glared at the owl, warning him not to repeat the action. It was clear that this was a regular occurrence, from the looks of it.
Bellus flipped over the label that was close by. “Morepork owl” The price was expensive, but not as the snowy owl she encountered earlier. She looked up at the owl, and the owl stared back. He held a mischievous look, hooting and clicking at Bellus, as if inviting her to play. Bellus held out an arm and the owl flew over and stooped down onto her arm. She carried him over to the counter.
“I’ll get this one.” She said, pulling out her wallet.
Bellus stepped out into the bright clearing, her owl inside the cage. She chose to call him Jingles, as he was rattling the cage, jingling the bell that was strapped onto it.
“Alright, Jingles, I’ll let you out.”
The owl took off, soaring once into the air and coming down to land back on to Bellus’s shoulder.
“Good boy, Jingles, good boy!”
