Eve noticed more people entering from the village as the sun was setting. Once the doors were locked down and barred she quietly got up and went to each door and performed a protection charm on them. She felt eyes on her as she did this. She had not told anyone that she could perform magic and she was very quiet about what she could do. People tended to ask for miracles when they knew one could do magic.

When Eve was finished she went back to the table and sat down. Expectant eyes were on her and she smiled. "Just a protective charm. Hopefully, it will strengthen the doors and help to keep us all safe." She smiled with what she hoped was a reassuring smile.
