Anrae was in a tizzy, Lilli had to tell him to hand her the package and go get ale and food from the kitchen, telling him she would speak with him later.
She opened the message from Cirrus and read it carefully, “hmmm, seems change has come in good and bad form; should be interesting to hear Anrae’s impressions once he is coherent.”
She opened the accompanying package and pulled out the odd crystal, read the instructions and said to herself, “Interesting, seems it may be safer than Mistwalking, ummm, but what is the trigger word I wonder?”
Later that evening Lilli listened to Anrae tell her of the changes he had seen. Most of what he described excited her. She had always felt that monsters were not monsters but just other races that were not understood, much as humans, elves, and dwarves were not understood by monsters (or each other half the time. The only thing she felt uneasy over was the drow inclusion. She had suffered throughout her life because of the drow, she was not sure if she could accept them living in her world.”Maybe I need to practice what I teach, forgive, move on, and do not fault the present for the past.”
“Anrae, please take this letter back to Shadow Guard.”
“Mistress Lilli, must I?”
“Yes young one, it seems the world is changing and we need not fear that change.”
The letter was simple,”Cirrus, U am happy to hear of these changes and llok forward to using the crystal, by what is the trigger word?”
