Lessa of Grimwood

« prev 33 in pool next »

Lessa was awoken in the morning and was dressed in a habit, some kind of dull robe, by Eilers.

Lessa was getting a little frustrated with how much she seemed to hover over her. But at least she seemed enthusiastic to help.

Lessa asked to break her fast but was told there was another step first. They were brought into a room with several benches and some kind of icon at the edge of the room.

A ritual of sorts proceeded: there was a bout of singing in a foreign tongue, then some lecture Lessa mostly tuned out as she focused on her empty gut, everyone rose and dropped in unison muttering short incantations.

It all seemed very pleasant and Lessa was sure to make a note to study their magics in more depth later. At the moment though she thought only of food and pleading for their aid in saving her mother!

They went to another room and a simple breakfast of porridge was served in wide bowls. Along with warm milk to drink, also served in wide bowls.

After finishing her meal Lessa decided to begin to make her case.

"So Eilers, I was hoping you all could lend me a hand in my quest?"

Eilers smirked "Your quest? Is that what you were doing before?"

"Yes you see I seek an enigmatic wizard known as the Great Wolfhound, who guards a Magic Seed. I need this seed to raise my mother from her magical slumber or another wizard..."

Lessa continued rambling about her mission, she did not notice herself talking louder and drawing the eyes and ears of the room.

"... will send his goons, and the village is doomed! Starnose is protecting her right now. She's a very powerful Witch as well. She has this amazing magic scepter, the brass tack she loaned to me... oh wait just a moment..."

Lessa excitedly began to summon The Brass Tack, which she continues to forget along her journey. A flash of light and it appeared! Everyone seemed very impressed by her rod.

"... also small subject change: do you have any ergot? Im likely to need an abortion soon."
