Challenge #04487-L103: Quite the Collection

How long has it been? They were very slow learners to be sure, but this slow? But it was obvious, now, they WERE learning. Along the wall, other terrariums, others having to learn these lessons. Those that were well progressed got to start seeing others, those that were not? This family, it took a while, but their dedication to learn a new path, was now starting to be obviously genuine. About time though. Time to introduce them to others who were almost ready to be returned to the world.

There's a humble little cottage that also happens to be a portable Wizard's tower. Only a very special Wizard would have a tower like that. There's a cozy hearth, a beautiful garden, and a bed so comfortable that resting in it heals wounds to the soul.

There's also an interesting array of terrariums. Each with little houses, and little crops. And little, tiny, people.

They are ageless, because they need time to learn. They are small because their bodies match their empathy and sympathy for others. A stranger encountering them might wonder what they did for the Eternal Wizard to punish them. If they ask, they would learn that this particular arrangement is a gift.
