And as promised, on another sheet of paper is the map. He can’t believe it. He got the job! Months after finishing his degree in creature health and biology, months of scouring the web in search of a job, he finally gets to put his knowledge to work.
Oscar carefully places the job offer letter down. He picks up the map of the sanctuary, smooths a thumb down the ink, and lets himself take in every street as a smile makes its way on his face.
He’s very excited at the opportunity. Not only does he get to practice his profession, but there is also a witch living at the sanctuary! And as fascinating as his class on magical brews was, he’s absolutely drooling at the idea of working together with an actual witch, and hopefully learning new things from a master of herbal remedies.
Without wasting any more time, he turns his laptop on and starts doing research on the patients newly under his care. Oscar is already very familiar with most of their species, but with so much variety within the list, he wants to make sure everything’s still fresh in his mind.
Monsters already have it hard enough trying to thrive in human-biased societies, God forbid he makes their lives any harder in a place built specifically for their well-being.
He’ll be damned if he isn’t the best monster-health general practitioner there has been within those walls. In two weeks, he’ll have his luggage packed. In two weeks, he’ll be filling up the tank of his car before a long drive to the FIA sanctuary.
He can’t wait.
And who knows? Maybe he’ll get to make some new friends there. Maybe even more.
