Moonglow
From The
Skara Brae Chimera
By Chessentra Xaran-Aragon
I
received a letter from Bell this morning telling me that she had met
a girl in Moonglow by the name of Inez. Reading further, I found it
is Inez who knows the where abouts of Chentelle! I was thrilled at the
news and read more. Inez wished to meet me at the the town hall, so
I rode from the inn as fast as I could. There, waiting by the town hall
doors, was a plain looking girl with black hair tied in two pig tails
and black rimmed spectacles on her face. She was looking at a scroll
as I approached. I said 
hello
and she looked up at me, adjusted her glasses and greeted me, shaking
my hand. She stared at me for a few moments then remembered her manners
and apologized. I introduced myself and asked where Chentelle was. She
was a bit wary of me due to my heritage and said that she couldn't trust
me to that information until she spoke with Chentelle. I nodded in agreement
since I was used to this treatment and she asked if there was anything
I had that would maybe help Chentelle to bring her back to her normal
self. I thought for a moment, then remembered how Chentelle loved music.
I asked her if she would follow me to Chentelle's house and that I wanted
to show her Chentelle's favorite harp. After I promised not to harm
her, she begrudgingly agreed. She made it clear that she would tolerate
any "funny stuff" as she put it.
We arrived at Chentelle's
house after recalling to the spot. Inside, I showed Inez to the harp
that Chentelle would always play after breakfast and in the afternoon.
Inez nodded and went to the harp to examine it closer. She looked it
over, holding her glasses in place and squinting at the object. Finally
she stood and turned to me, then asked if she could borrow it to give
to Chentelle. I wasn't about to give up anything of Chentelle's for
free. So I said she could borrow it if she gave me something of importance
to her. She rummaged around in her pack and pulled out some uncooked
ribs. I shook my head and pointed at her very ornate scribing pen. Her
face paled then nodded and gave me the pen. She took the harp and I
let her recall back to Skara Brae. I stayed at Chentelle's house for
a while, remembering all of my memories of her, Christoff and I..
