Sander hadn't been expecting another task after the one they just had and so when both Professors came forward, Sander looked expectantly at them. He wondered why Professor Fuller was enlarging the berry bushes but had suspicion that it had to do with the Puffskeins.

Then Professor Thompson spoke up and Sander's suspicions were verified. They, the students, were supposed to guide their Puffskeins through the bushes, let them feed on the berries, until they crossed the finishing line.

Say what? Odin had had a fair amount of exercise already and he was now being rewarded with as many berries he wanted to eat. That was fine and dandy but why couldn't he, Sander, feed it to Odin instead of making him work to get it. Guess the Professors wanted to reward the Puffskeins but at the same time work off what they had eaten.

It wasn't for him to question why, so Sander got down on his knees and picked up Odin in his arms. "So hey Odin. Are you still hungry? I have a whole bunch of berries you can eat. All we need to do is get you to those bushes over there." Sander whispered what his intentions were to Odin as he stroked his puffy furry friend.

"Are you ready? Now remember take your time to eat. I don't want you getting indigestion," Sander stroked Odin one last time before putting him down on the ground.

Rolling his wand between his fingers and with an upward flick, Sander said the incantations, "Animalis Fidelis," and waited for the spell to take effect. To make sure, Sander took a few steps forward and smiled when Odin bounced over right next to him.

With Odin following next to him, Sander headed for the nearest berry bush. "Here you go, Odin. Here's some berries for you. Remember don't eat too much because there's plenty more where that came from," Sander reminded Odin. He then waited patiently as Odin flicked his tongue out, grabbed one berry, pulled it backk into his mouth and began chomping on it slowly. Once he had swallowed he flicked his tongue out again and grabbed another one.

....after a couple of minutes, Sander knelt down to get Odin's attention which was hard to do, since his eyes were only on the berries in front of him. Putting his hand out to block Odin's view of the berries, Sander spoke to Odin again.

"Hey Odin. We need to leave some berries on these bushes for the other Puffskeins. Why don't we head on to the next bush?"

Standing up, Sander rolled his wand between his fingers and with an upward flick, cast the spell again. "Animalis Fidelis" and began walking away from the berry bush. He felt something brush his pant legs and was glad to see Odin had now discarded the berry bush he was eating at and was now following him.

Okay...next bush come bare your fruits for the Mighty Odin.
