Chapter Twelve

The Ceil

“O

k, now youn’s stay close ta me,” Tybor ordered, not feeling the need to double check that they understood. With the knowledge of the Annokai lurking, they followed his instructions to the letter.

While the previous night proved to be a tad bit on the boring side; the three of them dealt with it without complaint, even though there seemed to be a lingering uneasiness between them. Fighting hard to swallow their feelings they moved forward with the mission to the best of their ability.

Today Tybor figured it was best if he brought them along with him since he couldn’t afford to rent the room for a second day. At least this way he could keep an eye on them and wouldn’t have to worry about them putting themselves in further danger.

“I need ta go to dat shop o’er dere an’ fin’ a gift fer da Ceil. Come on in wids me but stick close an’ dun go lookin’ ‘round. An’ Tat, you’s make sure dat cat of yers stays put in dat pack, las’ ding I’s need ta have ta do is pay fer damages if it goes ta knockin’ dings o’er.”

Rowen recognized the look Tybor wore on his face when he answered Tat; a faint look of guilt. Or maybe it was regret of some sort. Whatever it was, he knew there was something the elf wasn’t telling.

After wandering around for some time in the gift shop that touted ‘unique and one of a kind rare items’ on a banner header displayed across the top of the picture shopfront windows, Tybor settled on a beautiful silver hair comb with ornate hand-carved roses on it. Covered with emerald gemstones making up the twisted stems, each rose petal had a single garnet at its tip.

Rowen found it odd and very uncharacteristic that Tybor spent time on something like that, making sure the item was one of a kind and the finest around.

When it came time to pay, the shopkeeper announced it would be 3,700 coin. Tybor reached into his pouch and brought out a scrap of leather with an unusual silver-copperish-gold badge of some sort pinned to it.

“Ah.” The shopkeeper exclaimed, “I will bill the Crown straight away, just sign here please,” he asked presenting what looked to be a contract of some sort.

“Ok, what was
