Over the River
From the Chronicles of Myra Sunveil



Myra had awakened to the sound of a pigeon. It was from Glor, and he wanted to come over. Hurriedly she stuffed her bloody armor and clothing in a bag and into a chest. She cast a small cantrip to clean the blood off her skin, and changed into one of her lighter dresses.

She went up to her roof, to feel the breeze and listen to the sound of the sea. She was so intent on nothingness, she didnt hear the door to her tower open, or the footsteps coming up to the roof. Finally she heard someone step close to her and her eyes snapped open. It was just Glor, she relaxed.

They spoke for a while... he knew where she had been, she couldn't seem to hide anything from him any more. And she remembered the book.

Glor and she travelled to the house where she found the strange book about daemon lords and such. She made a copy and they headed back to her tower. Glor told her some tales of the past and took his leave. She sat there a few moments, then slipped her copy of the strange book in a safe place.

Glor had asked her not to go looking for Dolenamo again... But she couldn't help herself. "South of Wrong, across the river" he had said earlier today. And that was her destination.

She hefted her bow, then realized it was still the brigands bow. She tossed that in her trash barrel and went to the shop. Vivian tried to give her a new bow, but Myra refused and gave Vivian the fair price for it.

Glancing around, she didnt want anyone to see her using the Tel'Ruid library and let Glor know she had gone anyway... So she flipped through her runebook and headed to Dennar's castle. She knew there were runes in the back there.

She travelled to Wrong and ran south. She hit the river and followed it till she hit a bridge and crossed to the bridge's east side. Running through the woods, she didn't think she'd find the small tower.

Suddenly it loomed up before her, shadowed by a tree that grew in front of it. She stopped quickly and retreated a few houses away, after checking the sign... "House Evensky" Yes, this was it...

She moved a few houses away and pulled out a rune. Binding the essence of the spot to a small rune, she flipped to her rune home and quickly departed.

Reaching her house, she felt a bit relieved that Dolenamo had not been around... so far as she knew... She sat down in her chair, musing over the stories Glor had told her and feel asleep.
