I hereby disclaim. Okay, now I've got that out of the way. This chapter thing is cool. I think that I like it better.... Anyways. Um, where were we????
Sidney meets the Amazons! (Sort of) Part 4 four quatre fier etcetera
"Well, maybe I should show you this first," she fished something small out of her pocket, "It's what my rude visitor wanted." She started to unwrap it carefully, then stopped, "Here, Sidney, you can unwrap it."
Sidney took it carefully and unwrapped it. She looked at it, "Is it...? What exactly is it?"
Gwen smiled, "Well, you probably have an idea. See, the Tressans had their superstitions just like any other group. One thing they would do, before battle or travel, would be to wrap these charms in their sandals. A sort of good luck charm. Go ahead , Nigel, you can look at it."
Nigel took it gently and examined it as Sidney and Gwen spoke.
"But if this is a common thing, why would someone want to steal it? This isn't my area of expertise,"Sidney said ruefully, "I used to be fascinated with the Tressans, but I can't remember all I learned."
Gwen shrugged, " 'Sokay, a lot of this has only recently come out. Anyways, umm, what was I saying?"
" Good luck charms," Nigel said absentmindedly as he turned the object over in his hand and brought it close to his face for examination.
"Oh, yeah, thanks Nigel. Umm, yeah, the good luck charms were very personalized and they always came in pairs. It was impossible to get one of the Tressan women to part with them, not if you wanted to keep your life."
Nigel spoke up, "But you have only one, why was that man here?"
Gwen nodded emphatically, "Now you've struck to the core of the matter, Nigel. Legend has it that this belonged to one of the greatest war leaders in Tressan history. It's been in my family for years, but only recently has it come a point of interest. My great grandmother is the one who hired you and she wants us to find the other half. That's all I can tell you now. Gramma's orders."
