[Sparrow]

I had my first meal, today.

I learned quickly how to supp the essence of others

To take from them the tithe that I have been asked to gather. 

.

I thought it akin to paying for medical treatment to an extent at first though it's a little more than that, I realize now. That this is to help me grow, to help me heal, on its own. Not a simple payment or working for it but a part of it- It's something that I need if I wish to be whole again. If I wish to become healthier, become better.

I took it from three people- Though one of them ran away before I could get much

.

The first, the one who ran was this large, green lion.They were so angry, and jealous.

 They hated that I had a dress where they did not- That we had pretty clothes where they had none

Their essence, their emotions were the most tinted by negativity

Brother did say that is what we ate- Jealousy is a little spicy, burnt.

One of the others was this young man called Baylor by his friends. He wanted to stop me from tithing the lion-creature

I don't know why, they were so rude, who cares?

His emotions tasted warm and filling

But they gave me a stomach-ache.

.

They brought back... Some part of me.
