How is your day going? What’s happened since the last time we mongered?
Sloooooow.

Have no idea what’s going on
Tick tock no no no don’t stop
Wow this is surprisingly distracting

Wheat is everyone up to this am?
I am getting up to make banana bread and peanut butter cookies ![]()
Wootwoot!!!
Wait, what am I supposed to be doing here i don’t get it
“He had? Must have been one of the boys I talked to during lunch the day I took the entrance exam. I don’t recall talking to anyone during the masters’ exams.”
“Could be,” Sandstone nodded. “Anyway, the accusations had to be investigated and I was in charge of the investigation. Officially he resigned, but I doubt there’s anyone who believes he did so willingly. It was only when his attorney pointed out to him that if it came to trial he was likely to be found guilty and serve time that he decided to take the easy way out we offered him. Wizard Bowsprit came back out of retirement to sit in the Dean’s Office, although he’ll be retiring again at the end of the winter term.”
“I must get around to visiting him and Quartzvein while I’m in town. So are there many women at University now?” Oceanvine asked.
“Only a few dozen,” Sandstone replied, “but it’s a good start.”
“If I’m not being nosy, what are you doing at the palace and at this early hour?”
“Oh that,” Sandstone shrugged. “Ever since you and Silverwind caught Snowfall, His Majesty has been making a habit of meeting with his heads of department on a biweekly basis. The RBI is so large that both Lord Natan and I represent the Bureau. That’s how I discovered the new pastry chef. And what brings you here, may I ask?”
“It seems we are on quest,” she said with a laugh. “It all began last spring; spring in Emmine that is, about two months ago. Candle had just graduated from University in Randona a year early, but before he could unpack his bags…” She went on to describe everything that had happened since the home she shared with Silverwind had burned down, including divine visitations and their face-to-face meeting with Nildar and Wenni. It surprised her that after only telling people as much as they needed to know, she was telling old Sandstone everything. An inner voice told her that he would be a receptive audience to the full tale.
“Amazing,” he told her at last. “I would love to see the Maiyim Bourne while you are still here. I used to sail around Querna Bay on a regular basis when I was younger, crewing on various nobles’ yachts. You and Silverwind will want to discuss your meetings with the divinities with Bowsprit, I think. He told me once that he had met Methis when he was young. I was never sure whether to believe him, but now, well, maybe he did. It sounds like you’ve met or at least seen all of them in your dreams. That’s quite remarkable, but then you, Silverwind, and young Candle too, are quite remarkable people.”
“Thank you, Master Sandstone,” Candle said as he approached their table. “I keep trying to tell Vine how remarkable I am, but she never listens. That’s Oceanvine!” he added before she could. It was only the second time he had done that, but it was as effective at taking the wind out of her sails as it had been the first time. “Hey! You’ve finally started writing again? May I read it?”

Don’t know what I’m doing but okay
Life is to short to waste it on reading instructions! ![]()
English is not my first language and I did not understand what is going on the first time I read the instructions.

Didn’t realize that this was today. Whoops.
2 cups of coffee per post it seems…


I have no idea what’s going on.
