Chapter 6: The Answer
Arion sat, musing over her two questions. If Ferriff was not for her, then who was? And how and why did Idela look like her? She decided on some maple and whitlake tea to take the stress off of her mind. As she sipped the sweet drink, she thought slowly. She had met several people. There was the bell maker, the bell ringer, the bell shiner, the stable boy and the chef to name but a few. So who was it? She just didn’t know. She finally settled on the answer that she would go to see Jeniva again and try to get more out of her.
Arion’s silver and black, wavy hair blew into her face as she rode hard into the wind. As she reached the cottage, she tied Rilma to a post outside to wait. She opened the creaking door, but the house was silent within. “Hello?” She asked timidly. No answer was heard, so she stepped in. “Hello?” She asked, this time a little louder. She crept quietly up the stairs, sensing that something was wrong. She reached the top of the stairs and looked at her surroundings carefully. She looked inside a few rooms and called, “Jeniva?” A muffled sound came from a small room, and she dashed inside. Nothing was there, so she called again, “Jeniva?” Another muffled cry came from inside the room, but from inside a closet. Arion opened it hurriedly, and Miss Karr came tumbling out. She had a gag in her mouth and her wrists and ankles were tied together. Her hands quickly untied the knots, and the elderly elf coughed several times before speaking. “They came in here…Tied me up!” She managed to gasp out. “Who?” Arion asked, gesturing to Jeniva to hurry. Jeniva nodded and said, “I…I don’t know! They bore a patch on their left shoulder…A wolf’s head with an emblem of a fox behind it! The patch was shaped like a diamond, that’s all I know.” Arion nodded briefly and tore out of the room and out of the house, mounted Rilma, and with narrowed eyes, took off for Idela’s cabin in the woods.
