🎀 Wisteria 🎀

—My friends, as always, I am immensely glad to see you all in good health! And I, on the advice of some good acquaintances, decided to visit the local church library. Finding good literature to read can sometimes be difficult, but, as far as I know, the books here might appeal to both local clergy and scholars and historians. And what about you? If it's not a secret, have you also decided to explore this wonderful place?

— Books are always a good thing, — agreed Yuisis, — especially since I couldn't get to the store I was interested in, on Azure Alley. Can you imagine my surprise when I found out that men are not allowed in there? Ha-ha-ha...
— Yes, very funny. — Kleona disagreed with his positive view of what had happened earlier. — So much for my shopping...
— Well, well, we've already decided that you'll go there yourself, and the guards didn't have any problems with you.
— But it won't be the same! Well, this city is just idiotic in some places.
— Ah, yes, — Yuisis remembered that he hadn't answered Rogdan's question and showed him the Aetheria amulet, — we bought one each. I don't think we'll find a practical use for them, but from an aesthetic point of view, they are very remarkable accessories, in my opinion.

—Any wishes? — Ilensiya pondered for a moment, but then dismissed these thoughts. — No, unless I can see properly again, so I don't swing my sword past the enemy, that's all the happiness I need. She obediently lay down on the bed, feeling the anxious thumping of her own heart.

— Are you sure? No special wishes? There, pointed ears, horns, a snake-like tongue, or maybe some tools like the males have?

Overcoming the sudden urge to leave, Darbon tiptoed to the house and listened. He remembered the story about the haunted house he had heard in one of the roadside taverns. If everything was still quiet, the sorcerer cautiously opened the door and peered inside.

— You are not of our faith, old man, — a soft male voice came from inside, — so you will not benefit from this place, go away.
