Let The Music Do The Talking
(17 Ivastaen 5115; Ta’Illistim) Moonglae Inn BriarStone Court Ta’Illistim, the Nations Dear Mother and Father, I am leaving this letter with Master Rouschall so you will have it waiting for you when you arrive. I am fairly bursting with the news from the contest associated with the Celebration of Oleani in Icemule Trace. My friend, Miss Katie, won first place for her wonderful interpretive reading of a charming legend/poem. My new...
It’s In His Kiss
(16 Ivastaen 5115: Ta’Illistim) “Nobody has ever kissed me like this, like you do,” she whispered softly to him. The Glowbark Tree was beautiful tonight, illuminating the heart of the garden better than even the Great Moon when it is full. The sirenflowers filled the air with what can only be described as a song – a constantly changing, living song. This was one of her favorite places to spend with him. They...
Good Day Sunshine
(15 Ivastaen 5115: Wehnimer’s Landing) The bardess woke up in her room in the Landing to the sounds of a bustling and busy town. She rubbed her crystal amulet and almost instantly heard someone thinking. It may not have been peaceful, but it was a familiar chaos to her, and she smiled. They had traveled late in the night from Ta’Illistim in preparation for the journey to Icemule Trace later today. That was the frozen...
That’s What Friends Are For
(9 Ivastaen 5115: Ta’Illistim) Not every rescue is from the jaws of death. The Adventuring Guild assigned the bardess to recover an heirloom from a spectral lord. It seemed like a good enough match for her. Aetheri went with her to that area regularly so she could earn her next step for the Order of Voln. She would just save the job until he was around. She came in from a successful hunt in the Teorainn Dale, and tarried on the dais...
How Many People Does It Take…
(4 Ivastaen 5115: Ta’Illistim) How Many People Does It Take To Help A Bardess? “The only kind of luck I am having today is bad luck,” she thought. She glanced at her fractured and bleeding leg and her hand as she sat at the Hanging Gardens, snacking on acantha leaves like she had not eaten for days. The Teorainn Dale had not been good to her.”I would rise to curtsy and greet you, too, Mister Kitagaen, but...
Aetheri’s Song
(3 Ivastaen 5115: Ta’Illistim) She closed her eyes and smiled to herself, finishing the song on the piece of paper. She swirled her quill at the bottom with her name, marking it complete. Holding the paper up she looked at it in wonder. It had taken but a few days to write, and she really liked it. It held her feelings; that alone was an accomplishment.The key gave it layers of depth that made it intriguing, romantic, and never once...
Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner
(1 Ivastaen 5115: Ta’Illistim) The bardess just stared at this second letter from home in as many days. It made no sense at all for them to change their mind like this. Dear Luxie, I do not have time for more than a short note about this change of plans. We are leaving today to meet you in Ta’Vaalor next week. We will send word when we arrive. Plan to bring him. Your Father Him?? The letter seemed very terse for...
