And the winner is Toriguel! Congratulations, I really loved the contrast between the secret and the shop that Noctua owns, and the concept was super intriguing! This was a really hard competition to judge, but good luck to anyone entering any future competitions!

what are they hiding: [408 words]
With the amount of mysteries and darkness surrounding her, one could think that Noctua hides something dangerous nearby. A mortal poison hidden in one of the flasks neatly stored on the shelf, or perhaps a small but extremely venomous creature trapped in one of the shaking boxes in the storage.
The amount of rumors going on concerning her magic store is not insignificant, and sometimes franckly ridiculous, because Noctua doesn't have anything to hide. Really ? False.
That Kalon totally does have a secret that she won't share with anyone.
Hidden behind her desk, on a small velvet cushion, sits a stuffed toy. To be exact, a small, ball-sized unicorn plush. With a soft, light pink fur and sparkles in her strawberry-colored mane. And, don't forget it, a gold horn complementing its shining eyes. A gift given to Noctua when she still was a young Kalon by her parents, now deceased.
At first glance, everyone could tell it would be a great friendship story between Noctua and the plush, which has been named Uni the Unicorn in a true child fashion. The two were literally inseparable. If Noctua was coming for dinner, so was Uni. If Noctua went out, so was Uni. If Noctua went to bed, so was Uni.
But all things don't always stay the way we want them to. Years passed and soon that behavior was starting to get frowned upon. Noctua never was the type to go toward people and seek friendship, so the only friend she had was Uni.
But what kind of teenager would bring a pink unicorn stuffed toy everywhere ? Everyone else would laugh at her, and even if Noctua smiled and laughed with them, it hurt her to be mocked for her childish behavior. After all, children are cruel and their words managed to stab Noctua's heart. Why would nobody accept her strange frienddship ? Should she be ashamed of her best friend ?
The Kalon had to adapt and started to hide the plush in her bag while going out. In school, for her first job, even when Noctua managed to open her own magic shop, Uni always was here, hidden from view.
Even now, Noctua is hidding her best friend under that desk, every day when she comes to work until she leaves in the evening. The Kalon doesn't want a repeat of her childhood.
No one needs to know her childish side.
No one should know.
No one will know.

Noctua owns a small little magic shop. She is the only worker in there and is the one creating all the potions and spells available. Lucky charms, potions that improve the growth of plants, spells that will guide you to your loved one or deadly poison... This Kalon almost has everything.
But there is one potion she still has difficulties to create : the love potion. Her first tries ended up being potion that improved hair shine (she kept that recipe and it became a highly demanded item). A bit later, Noctua once managed to create a potion that attracted ladybugs. But... Too much ladybugs. They would cover the body without leaving a single piece of the Kalon visible.
But the kalon is improving : her lastest try was a close one. Everyone turned their head to watch her walk on the sidewalk, unable to remove their sight from her. Good, good.
Now, she just has to see how to remove the side effect that makes flowers sprout on the top of her head.
