And what happened to me?
While Zephyr kept himself busy with endless questions for the guests, I sat with Dhanell. I handed him the small amulet and the note that came with it. I wanted to know what it meant. He could read the strange letters. Draconic, apparently. The message said it was a gift… from Sir Talavar.
Dhanell prepared a ritual to learn more. It took a long ten minutes. Eventually, he said the amulet had transmutation magic inside. Brolin, ever hopeful, wished it could turn water into wine — a very Brolin thing to wish for. He put it on. Nothing happened. Disappointed, he handed it back. I told Dhanell he should wear it — if it’s magic, better on someone who can actually sense it.
The Fountain
Finally, we went to look for Frostbite, who had still not returned from wherever he had gone. On the way, Dhanell noticed a fountain that was magical — his spell was still active. The water was frozen in time. He took some of it in a waterskin and sniffed it. Said it smelled off. I told him we could taste it — like how you can sometimes guess a potion’s effect by its taste. That seemed smart at the time.
But after that… my memories get… soft. Like fog curling around thoughts.
I think… I saw a butterfly. It was beautiful. I reached out to pet it — soft wings. Dhanell led me somewhere, but my feet felt funny. Zephyr gave me candy. It was sweet. Then each step made a noise — It startled me at first. Was the ground making music?
We walked. There was a building. Very big. We went in. Someone mentioned Frostbite. Where was Frostbite? I remember yelling for him, but they hushed me, so I whispered instead.
Then I saw Star! I ran to him and wrapped my arms around his big soft fur. Warm. He purred. Good kitty.
Soon after my thoughts sharpened. I blinked and felt myself again. Where was Frostbite? Star was here… but not him. Why would he leave Star behind? He wouldn't. Not willingly. Did he fall? I stepped closer to the edge of the balcony, looked down. A swirling vortex churned far below.
The Carpet
Brolin had found another door. We moved that way. At the entrance stood a vase, with strange flowers and a note: “Take one.” Of course, Brolin took one. So did Maeve and Zephyr. I looked at Dhanell. We didn’t. Why would we? In a place like this, gifts always come with invisible strings — and I’ve had enough of being tied up by things I didn’t agree to.
Then we stepped on the carpet. And the carpet… woke up. It tried to strangle us.
Of course it did.
