Letter from a Ghost

A bedroom door opened. Asher and Amber peered into the simple room. It contained a bed, window, water closet door and a normal closet. There was a chest under the bed and the curtains were parted. Rain continued to fall beyond the glass.

“The rooms are mostly the same,” Asher began. “All the closets on this floor have many different outfits and clothes. You’re free to go into other rooms and change them out.

“There are two washrooms on the floor, but every room has its own private water closet.”

Amber nodded as she looked into the simple room. “I have everything I need in my Satchel of Carrying, but thank you. I may move some stuff out of here and into other rooms,” the faun said.

Asher nodded as another moan touched his ears. He glanced at Amber and she gave him a blank expression.

“I’m fully aware of what happens on milk farms. I…may be shy, but I’m not blind or deaf. I do look forward to working with you to help you decide if you wish to join the society.”

Asher rubbed his jaw. “With everything said, it still feels odd. I had no idea everything ran so deep across the continent. It makes me wonder, what else was I missing from my travels.”

Amber gave the young man a small smile. “There will always be secrets in the world. I cannot speak to other mysteries, but the Opal Society, as far as I’ve seen, is a positive and helpful one. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be here.

“It did take some getting used to the idea, but when I saw how they helped many people, I knew the society was right for me. I want to help you, but I will not force anything. I am your assistant and I will perform my duties to the letter.”

Asher dropped his hand to his side and smiled. “Thank you. I know I will have a lot of questions, but I think I’m needed,” he said as another of Elara’s moans touched the air.

“I understand. I will take this time to set up my room, and explore the farm, if you don’t mind?”

“I don’t mind, but the basement is locked for now. When you’re ready, we can go down there together and talk about making potions.”

“I look forward to it,” Amber said as she kept her small smile.

Asher smiled before turning and walking away. He felt the faun’s gaze on him for a breath, before a door closed. He continued to walk, when he remembered the note in his hand.

Halfway to his bedroom, Asher opened the envelope and pulled out the letter from his uncle.

Asher, if you have received this letter, then my fate has been truly sealed. But it does bring me joy, if I am dead, that you are now running the farm and keeping it within our family.

Claudia Frost is a dear friend. We used to speak many times over drinks. She can be trusted to look out for your best interests.
