LABYRINTH: Birds Fly Over The Rainbow

Chapter 23

Day 68

On the last day of their stay in Eireaball, Sarah had everything counted. 8435 gold, 1653 silver, and 428 coppers.

Sarah's split was a big bag of jewelry which made two huge bags of jewelry. Sarah got 4217 gold, 826 silver. She gave all the coppers to Sal. She had bagged up Sal's split and set it aside of ten and a half bags of gold, two bags of silver, and a bag of coppers. Sarah added a small bag of the odd change. Sarah wrote down the totals for Sal to keep track of.

Sarah had in her locket now, 18,100 gold,1950 silver, and 1000 coppers. That was a lot of money. Sal and both of the girls carried over the stash to Sal's stable and put it down where he wanted it. Sarah handed him the paper with the total amounts on it to Sal.

Sal said, "Ye be a fine woman Sar. I be missin' yer wisdom in makin' me a wealthy man."

Sarah said, "You just be safe Sal and do some good with it, ok?" He smiled and kissed her cheek and Brie's too, making Brie blush.

Sal said, "I be seein' ya in tha morning, lassies." They waved goodbye and went back to the hotel. Sarah and Brie had dinner and wine then went back to the room to get their gear packed up and ready to go for the morning. They both took hot baths, washed their hair and washed all their clothes up and let it dry. Azure played with Brie while Sarah dumped out the jewelry from the four bags and the two and a half from Saor. She was splitting it up in piles of: earrings, necklace, bracelet, chains, pendants, watches, rings, hair accessories, gold, silver, and ect.

Sarah wrote Merlara told her that it has been three hoarders in three kingdoms that have been not only stealing but selling people to Centaurs and Ogres she suspects. The one Saor in the Fairy Kingdom definitely was. She wished her letter to her.

Sarah and Brie got what they wanted to keep for their personal jewelry pouches. Sarah divided them in bags separately silver from gold and condensed it down into three bag once organized.

Brie said, laying her head on Sarah's shoulder, "I be hopin'… all those people found peace."

Sarah patted her and said, "I do too, baby girl." Sarah and Brie went to bed and fell asleep hard.

Day 70

Sarah and Brie said their goodbyes to Sal in Eireaball. They rode north to the capital city of Adharc. Sarah decided to stay a week. It was a day's ride so they got there after sundown. Sarah looked for an inn on the west side of the city because that was the direction they would head when they left. Sarah found one with a stable nearby. The inn was busy.

Sarah walked up to the innkeeper and said, "Excuse me, may I have a room for the week?"

He looked her up and down and said, "Eight silver a night, meals five coppers, three fer drinks. Room ten." Sarah gave him six gold and he gave her four silver. Sarah took the key and went and dropped her bags, locked the door and went and got Brie and her bags and dropped them off too. Sarah locked the door and Brie put a chair under the door. Sarah went and boarded the horses. For six coppers a day.

Sarah went back to the inn and knocked on the door and said, "It's me baby." She went in and the room wasn't bad. They fed almost nine week old Azure his chopped meat and milk mixture in his little bowl. He lasted longer on the more solid mix and wasn't waking up to feed in the night. Sarah watched his poop and made sure he wasn't having a reaction. Sarah had stopped bottle feeding him. Sarah wanted to get a bigger pouch for him because he is getting bigger and he was out growing his 8x10 inch pouch. He needed a 10x16 inch pouch so she could wear it crossbody when they rode.

Sarah and Brie went down to eat cloaked and gloved. They sat at the counter and Sarah said to the innkeeper, "Two dinners and wine, please." Sarah sat out one silver, six coppers. He took her money and got her two wines and went to get the dinners.
