The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Thank you sir! Certainly worth considering!

Yes, maybe she did confront her. Yes Philomena! Call him back, although it's a days ride from here!

...She is gone...vanished..she would never, ever leave me! Ever! Where would we look?

Not for all the shiny round things to trade for all the honey mead in all of Grimney!.. I should go back to Munchkin manor and wait for her...I am sure that she will come home.

I would rather climb into Urat's big beard and go to sleep snuggled up safe, but Xibes will want home warm and cosy for when she gets back.

*eve naive rests her head on Philomena's knee and sniffs sadly again*

*eve naive's eyes grow big and wide at the mention of Xibes mother*

What is this you speak of....Xibes never spoke of her mother. She would never go looking for her...she is too powerful!

Oh my poo-oor Xibes!

I need to go home!..Xibes will be there..she will be!

*in a flash eve has flitted out of the door and is gone*

See eve, that brave man will help. Please stop crying, you're making your little wings shake. I know Xibes, she is a survivor and will return to you.

No, eve you must stay here. Xibes would want you to stay here under Urat's protection.

I shall call him to ride like a fury, I hope he shall arrive in less than half a day. My heart grows heavy with fear.

We can't ask Vance to help if Kalvos is here, it will put him at too great a risk. I won't ask him, I won't. Let the ranger go and follow her trail, his price is not too high.

I will stay - up in the beams! I will wait, I know that Xibes will come back dear ones. She is strong and brave.

I love her and I love you. We will wait together and see if Xibes does not come back with a tall tale and something pretty for me!

*eve-naive lands on Urats shoulder and whispers in his ear*

We'll be brave bumble bees together dear Urat

Thank you..all so kindly...

*eve naive yawns and wraps Urat's beard around her*

Xibes will be back...wait and see...she will bring me pretty things and the finest ingredients...resourced in the same...usual...*yawns*....manner as everyone else...I .

*and eve naive is sleeping and gently snoring*

I do not know if he has the strength Urat but what more can we do? I hope my spell had given Xibes a little protection, even an ice queen's heart has a little love for their child. If her mother's moon is waning then Xibes' moon is waxing, she has more power than she realises.

Cuddle up to me eve, you shall find some comfort here. I'm sorry we can't ask Vance to put himself in such danger. I can't explain why it matters so much.

Ah Urat, she sleeps at last.
