LABYRINTH: Birds Fly Over The Rainbow

Chapter 24

Brie said, "I think our lunch be spoiled."

Sarah said, "A little bit of sweets are good for your soul. It makes you smile." Sarah nudged and bumped Brie with her shoulder. Brie looked at her. Sarah grabbed another cookie and grinned. Brie did too.

Sarah selected twelve more pieces of jewelry and put them in the leather pouch. She and Brie went downstairs to get a wine and see if there was a different jeweler to sell too. Sarah talked to a fae that came in and he thought she was lovely. He gave her directions to a jeweler ten blocks away in a different place. Sarah and Brie set out to go there.

This jeweler was a thirty looking human  man. He looked at her pieces and the two daggers and offered her 360 gold Sarah agreed. He counted it out to her in stacks. Sarah put it in the bag. Sarah and Brie made a beeline back to the inn. They went up to the room and Sarah dumped the 360 into the locket.

Throughout the week, Sarah and Brie took the horses to sell the jewelry all over the city until it was almost all gone. Sarah looked into any magical jewelry. She found a self-protection ring that protected her from physical attacks. She bought it for Brie. It was a small gold sapphire ring with a pair of tiny diamonds on each side. They went back to the inn.

She put the ring on Brie's finger once they were in the room and she said, "Nobody can hurt you physically with this ring on. You must never take it off no matter whatever happens. Nobody will be able to do what Dirtball did to you ever again. When I find one that protects you from magic, I will get you one of them too. Ok, baby girl?" Brie tackled Sarah in a fierce hug and started crying. Sarah petted her head, sitting down and rocked her in her arms.

Brie cried saying, "I love ye so much, Sar. Ye take care of me an I feel safe now I be with ye."

Sarah said, "It's all I want for you."

Sarah felt better that most of the jewelry was liquidated. She would try to get rid of the rest in Loch Criostail the next city they were in she only had a much smaller bag left of it. She had 3250 added in gold to the locket now. A total of 22,000 gold, 1950 silver and 1000 coppers. Wow.

Day 76

On their last day of being in the city, Sarah dumped everything out of her locket and bagged up the 1000 copper and the 1950 silver, but put the gold back in. It was all worth 205 gold. She wrote a letter to the two innkeeper brothers that she and Brie had made friends with during this whole week. They both agreed to share with them. Sarah wanted to leave them with something to help them out with their inn. She didn't want the coin of lower value and she and Brie were blessed with more than enough.

That night she wrote Merlara and told her about her week in Adharc and what they did.

Day 76

The morning came to leave and the roads were cleared on the mountain to Crúb at the top. Sarah and Brie were back in their men's clothing and went down to breakfast concealed. They each had seven and a half bags of coins on the bed upstairs with the two letters. Willem and Thaniel had the cook and maid watch the counter while they helped bring down Sarah and Brie's baggage to the horses. While in the room, Sarah knew they both had rooms and lived in the inn. The bags were on the bed.

Sarah said, "Brie and I agreed to help both of you equally. There is a value of 205 gold in seven and a half bags of silver and of coppers. Brie and I have been blessed and now we want to pass some to you. The letter is for you both telling you how glad we are to call you friends. Thank you for a pleasant stay and finding new good memories. The brothers were speechless. They each hugged the girls.

Thaniel said, "This be tha nicest gift anyone be ever given us. Ye both be fine an generous ladies an we be missin' and wishin' ye well an safe journeys."
