chapter twenty-five: “an old friend.”

(n/a: I'm also itching to write the main character and her former husband's reunion. keep me sane for a while.)

     “PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.”

THE TRAVELER showed the Sigil of Permission. It's been so long ever since the illuminated deer have seen or felt the presence of this sacred parchment often used by mortals to communicate with them. It's not only the paper will he meet again, but also another woman he sees as a friend during her youthful days...
