Part 30

“His name is Twain,” you say. “He’s a little grumpy, but I already love him.”

Your mimic takes a seat in the middle of the desk. “I’ll give you an autograph. You’re welcome.” His long ears point up, and he smiles a feline smile.

Sorric strokes his chin as he leans down close to your eldrin. “Fascinating. I haven’t seen a mimic in some time. They’re quite rare, you know. Very valuable.”

Twain’s ears flatten back, and his smile disappears in an instant. “I’ll have you know that I’m priceless.” He stands, turns around quickly, and then leaps onto your shoulder.

Well, he tries. Twain fumbles for a bit, obviously still a kitten, and you help him onto your shoulder with a gentle pat. Once he’s settled, you turn to the librarian.

Your old mentor straightens his fuzzy brown cap as he mulls the situation over.

“The mystic seeker will be here soon,” Sorric mutters. He stares at the floor as he thinks. “Attacking you would be criminal, but some of these seekers can get vicious. I wouldn’t trust them to stay civil. By the abyssal hells, I wouldn’t trust them to deliver groceries.”

“What should we do, then?” Twain asked. “I wanted to stay hidden, but those monsters won’t relent.”

“They must’ve been offered a large reward.” Sorric snapped his fingers. “That settles it. You need to get to the mainland and report this to one of the larger guilds. I’ll travel with you.” He starts grabbing books, a few bags, a couple scrolls with maps, and even two more hats. “Here, help me pack.” He throws you a bag.

What do you do?

A) “We should go to a guild that keeps the peace.” [Ends this arc of the story.]

D) “We should go to the largest and strongest guild out there.” [Ends this arc of the story.]

E) “Let’s go to the mainland, but no guilds.”

F) “Twain, what do you think?”
