THE THIRD CURSE CAME to the young bard nearly as an act of providence, without the guidance of dream. Almost as if the grey was rewarding him for his tenacity. On his way back, he encountered a vendor on a street market and asked the carriage driver to stop. The lady vendor was a lay greyan herself; an elem. She’d set up a meager street shop, selling jewels and decorations she’d made with her songs. The bard first admired her work, but as he inquired, she’d confirmed his suspicions of her not having registered her work with any Hall of Counselors. As a greyan herself, Bard Haefer shamed her all the more, then asked her to report to the halls to determine her just punishment. But this one resisted. She even sang at him and tried to make an escape! Bard Haefer had to sing a song of his own, so the ground beneath the brick alley she’d run through listened, and shot up through the surface, a massive mound blocking her path. As the young bard continued to sing, the wall pushed her further back toward him. He paralyzed her, bound her wrists and feet, and carried her onto the carriage while the civilians watched it all.

Three down, two to go, the bard thought. As he carried the disturbed lady onto the carriage, all eyes of Anchorton watching him, he puffed his chest. That’s right, he thought, looking at all of them. Learn from this lady well. Who are you to defy the bards? All of you are beneath us. Learn your place, or suffer the consequences. The lady fought him not for the rest of the ride back to his Hall of Counselors. He passed by the people, chin raised and scoffing inside. They would learn to never defy the bards. . .never to defy him! The soon to be Headmaster.
