Leon had been rowing the traghetto with an older elf. He had offered her a ride across the Grand Canal, but she had shook her head no. He wasn’t sure why she, an elf named Silver Moon Unicorn, was shaking her head. He wasn’t going to push her. There had to be a reason.

He had been rowing the traghetto another day when he had seen her again. She had gotten in the ferry this time. She had reached out for his hand to steady herself and tried to look in his eyes. At the last minute, she had lowered her eyes. She had sat down behind him. When the short ride was over, she had waited for the other passengers to get out before she had stood up.

He had offered his hand to help steady her, but she had reached out for a pole lodged in the water as she had given him a coin to pay for her fare. He had watched her walk away.

The younger gondoliers had teased him about her. He had kept turning his head to try to get another glimpse of her. But she was gone and he didn’t know when he would see her again.

He sighed at the memory. He saw her again. She was standing on the opposite of the Grand Canal as he was. He wasn’t rowing the ferry this time, but had just given some tourists a ride in his gondola. She had seen him.

His gondola was different than the others. It had silver decorations. A pair of silver winged lions, a symbol for the city of Elsewhere, and the Goddess of Victory leading him to victory. She had seen it and knew it was his.

She looked at him and asked him with her mind— there was no way he would have heard her if she had spoken— “Were you the one who summoned me here? Please give me a sign.”

He looked to her across the canal. He had heard her question even though he wasn’t as good with the common language as she was. It wasn’t his first language. He went to the front of his gondola and turned the Goddess of Victory to face left instead of forward. Then he proceeded to cover of the rest of the gondola.

He hoped she would see it. He also hoped he would see her again soon.
