[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3098677, member: 30035"] [b]Trouble in Milvarune[/b] I neglected to mention that in our conversation with Fathers Merrick and Borabyl, we learned that Percy has somehow been able to voluntarily reject the Blessing he had received from the slain child. Such an occurrence has never happened before to their knowledge - just as no one else has ever been known to 'lose' a Blessing the way Brother Breonne did, even though we still don't know quite how he lost it. We still continue to feel that sense of elation that came from the Lady when Percy's Blessing returned to her. Having been told that it would take three days to assemble the Council and determine our next course of action, we were given the run of Silver Cottage again and left to our own devices until called for. I was in the garden practicing swordsmanship with Latan when she noticed that Percy was behaving oddly. He'd gone out without telling us. She decided to follow him to make certain he was all right. She'd seen that peculiar green flash in his eyes that he gets when he seems to be channelling the Seeress. I decided to follow along too. He wended his way very purposefully through a market to a shop quaintly called the Artifactory. I would have liked to look around had the opportunity presented itself. But Percy strode right up to the counter and seized the proprietor by the collar of his robe! He was muttering something under his breath that I couldn't catch, nor could Latan make out the words. Whatever it was it terrified the wizard. Latan managed to calm Percy and persuade him to let go of the wizard, while I tried to soothe the man's ire. I'm afraid I wasn't as succesful as I would have liked. We had to hustle a bewildered Percy out of the shop and back to the cottage. He didn't recall leaving for the wizard's shop, nor why he'd wanted to go there to begin with. On the way back to the cottage Latan said she thought she saw someone familiar following us, a man she recognized as one of my admirers from the Dragon Days festival. She seemed to think he had less than honorable intentions by his behavior, as he apparently fled when she turned to face him. How odd. After Roland and Hedrin rejoined us at the cottage we told them what had happened with Percy and the wizard. Roland was able to aid Percy in recovering his memory of what had provoked him. It transpired that Hedrin had taken a ring there to have it enchanted, and Percy had received a vision that the wizard meant to do something untoward with it. We were all immediately on high alert, fearing that somehow Lerner Provol or one of his associates had got to the wizard. And the others insisted on putting the Ice Fangs on guard to watch the cottage in the event that my 'admirer' returned. I don't know why they are so concerned about him. Much more concerning is Roland's discovery that the Whisper Knives have a presence here in Milvarune. In the evening we all accompanied Hedrin to the shop again to retrieve his ring. The ring wasn't for himself; he meant if as a gift for Semi, the wolf-woman who travels with Lerner. He is truly in love with her. This would make a fine story of star-crossed love, but I must wait to see how it plays out - and it would be inappropriate to tell such a story now when Hedrin is so near and dear a friend.
