Marlena takes a sharp pair of tweezers, pinches down on the tick, and gently pulls it out of your skin. She takes another instrument and scrapes out some remaining parts, and rubs some healing salve over the wound. She then puts a bandage on it.
"I'm not going to put a cone around your neck, because that would be the least dignifying thing I could do to such a majestic creature. However, you have to promise me you won't pick at it. Ok?"

Amara nodded and looked back at her. "Now what?"
"Until we can find a home for you, I'm going to take you to our little animal shelter. It's not the most glamorous existence, but you'll be taken care of."
Marlena guides you out the back door towards a massive green field enclosed by a 20 foot tall fence. You see a few other magical creatures frolicking around. A pack of pug-like gargoyles chasing after a giant beach ball. A pair of griffins tending to a nest of chicks. A wyvern and a manticore wrestling over a piece of steak, and you see the hippogriff you came on the car with.
There's a row of stables and a barn on the far side of the enclosure, a pond, and a sort of tower of obstacles and play sets for you and your friends to frolic in.
It's not a forest. But, until further notice, you just might have to accept that this is your home for now.
