14th & 15th of Pharast 4717
Episode 15 & 16
Vesorianna turned out to be a sweet and helpful spirit who had grabbed ahold of Marcus’ arm. Hers is a tragic story of a life ended just because she was bringing her husband dinner.
Her information filled in some of the missing pieces of the prison’s fire and the mysterious happenings occurring presently.
We are at Kendra’s house having supper. Marcus is reading a spell book, while Parod cleans his weapon. (I think he is much too attached to an inanimate object he calls Bessie.)
We are to adjourn to the prison at “Wake-Up-O’clock”. Min is so exasperating at times!
The morning has proven to be both odd and informative.
On the way to the prison, we noticed some village children playing games. They were chanting what at first seemed to be a childish rhyme. Upon listening further, my spine went rigid with the horror and ghastliness of the words being so innocently recited. Min memorized the dreadful poem and I am copying it here to continue to study its meaning:
Put her body on the bed, take a knife and lop her head.
Watch the blood come out the pipe, feeds the stirge, so nice and ripe
Drops of red so sparkly bright, splatters spell her name just right
With a hammer killed his wife, Now he wants to claim your life
Tricksy father tells a lie, listen close or you will die
Now on to seek out Vesorianna and begin the quest she has set forth for our group!
