A fox girl’s gift

You arrive at Queen Sella’s court in the evening, just in time for dinner. Everyone wears there best for the arrival, including you in your new armor. Sella is delighted to see you, as is her husband. Her daughter, however, is excited to meet someone else.

Frey runs up to Anna and bounces excitedly. “Miss Anna! You’re back!”

Anna smiles at the happy little fox girl. “We’re back. Not for too long this time, we have important things to do.”

You smile, watching them. “You made a friend, Anna.”

Anna smiles back. “Of course, master! Frey is a delight!”

Sella laughs. “Frey, I think you have a present for your friend, don’t you?”

The girl nods, off like a shot out of the room. You laugh at the excitement. “You’re going to make a good mother one day, Anna.”

Anna blushes, and Sella laughs, looking at Maya. “You girls are wearing him down already! Look me up if you need parenting tips.”

You roll your eyes as Anna and Maya giggle. You notice Kali looking thoughtful, as Frey runs back in, holding a small box. “Here, miss Anna! We had this made for you!”

Inside the box is a beautiful necklace with a red and a white flower. Frey helps put it on Anna’s neck. “It’s got a spell in it so you always have one to use!”

Sella nods. “It’s a mirror mage amulet, it can hold one spell for you to draw upon, In this case a cold spell.”

Anna smiles and hugs Frey, the little fox girl squealing with happiness. “Thank you Frey, it’s beautiful.”

Sella smiles, but the smile fades as she turns to you. “I have important news, but we can discuss it over dinner. I assume you’re hungry?”

Before you can answer, your stomach rumbles. Sella laughs.
