"Stolen. From the nest."

"We will definitely try to find out about. With your permisison I'll take it ot the seer"

She frowns. "Can I come along?"

"Certainly" He says "But don't you want to enjoy the rest of Pennons? "

"I wanna know about this. The clurichain wanted to enslave it, and I.. I don't like that. Maybe, like, I could get it back where it belongs?"

"Then Dame, of course. You are my superior. A knight and of the Countt's House no less. Please follow me"

The Clurichaun going to a cell is no trouble

She nods and follows.

The Seer takes more time to find, but soon the woman is pulled away from a wine tasting area . She is quite sober but a little annoyed "wahat's this about, Thane?"

Dagmar hangs back, chewing on a nail.

"This egg, some chimera, was stolen an being resold to a rather violent and STUPID CLurichaun. Dame Dagmar thought it should be looked over"

"Dame Dagmar?" The Seer bows to Dagmar "Milady. A momentt, let me appraise"

She nods, and offers out the bag.

She takes it then gasps "Why, it's a Bookwyrm egg! And someone has nick named it slave!"

"Nickname?" The Thane, who is mostly here for exposition, inquires

"Weaker than true naming, but still dangerous. Particularly on an unhatched dream" The Seer seems offended

"Bookwyrm.. like the little dragon at EarthRunes?"

"Yes, exactly so. I need to wipe this clean before it settles. Should it hatch while that mark is on it, it may become a slave or very close"

Glower.

"Yes, I need to wipe this down work some magics of my own. thank you ,Dame Dagmar"

"Thank you. I... I have a quest soon, to the Dreaming. If it needs to go back there to hatch, maybe I could help?"

"I'll try to find out where it's home is.. it's possible it was taken from a library"

She nods. "Thank you."

"If I find out where it was taken from I take it you'd like to be informed Dame? It's your right to ask for such matters. Knights thrive on quests of all kinds"

"I would, yes please."

"Well, It's the least I can do for the woman who beat the rover who brings my husband back near passed out from drinking every march madness finale"

"Well... well, I appreciate that, Seer."

She says "Forgive me, I need to get to my office. I'll have news sent to you tomorrow"

"Oh, sure. Magic stuff." She nods.

"Exactly that. "

And the Seer moves on

Dag heads back to check on the horses and her squire - surely, the day is near its end.

well, there are the races... and some river spear contest but yes. That's it!

Star and Spark and Stormwake get quite a bit of fuss. Long day for everyone - felt like weeks!

Yep. Must be a 2020 thing

A summary...

the horse races go well, fantastic in fact. The Yearling race goes to Silverwolf! Another race goes to a boggan run stable of all things!

Some folks seem to have missed watching the races. Brekke is spending some quiet time with Frank while caring for the horses. The Davidsons are enjoying the dancing.

Horse lovers also get a chance to talk shop about bloodlines and more. Money is raised for that horse rescue

Later, folks get to cheer on Siv as she beats the other 7 Fencers that showed up via elimintion

She's rarely looked happier

Oh, Brekke is VERY proud of her there.

Aiden is very pleased and not surprised to have Felaróf, his male yearling, take the race, Windfola is given many apples to settle her temper from losing, not unlike a certain Ailil knight. He also works to make connections if he can with the other breeders, it’s not often he connects with those a a Gwydion hold.

Many are amused by Spark's antics, and he is curious about his Silverwolf cousins.

Nadeen lost to Siv, but gave her a run

And, of course, Brekke got to fight in the River and Spear contest. New, exciting, full of Sidhe warirors sure it was THEIR event because kind of celtic.

It went how you might expect

Oh, Brekke seems in her element...and considering RIVERvale's name, she might be right.

At the end of it, Brekke Triumphant, the Count himself comes down, grabs a spear, and grins! It's been a long time since they've had a tussle even for show
