Sel, Chapter 3 Options

[Dantrag]

I was soon accepted into House Redoran, and my mother was pretty proud of me. Probably too proud. I didn't go to Athyn's class anymore, being too busy as councillor Venim's page. Or, at least until the fiery councillor died, and was replaced by his brother. All young hirelings in the House had to spend five years in a councillor's service, and I was no different. Close to the end of those years, my fourth, to be exact, I wondered why I was even in the House; I got no money for my service, being a page, and my family needed money. I should have gotten a job. There I was in Bolvyn's manor, getting fed and clothed while my family starved. My own damned fault. I paid for my selfishness.

I'll put the actual story here in a while; I just needed to start this back up.

Fyr will get even later.

Sel made his way back to the room in which Aldaril and Vysi were standing uncomfortably.

"Here. This is yours." he said to Aldaril as he handed the hammer over.

"By Azura, boy. Do you have any idea what you've just given me?"

Sel shrugged. "A hammer, I'm guessing."

Aldaril shook his head as if in disappointment. "Well, this isn't really the place to go into detail. I don't think the old wizard wants us around."

Sel nodded, and the three companions left the tower. While on the boat heading back towards Sadrith Mora, Aldaril took it upon himself to describe the importance of the hammer that Sel had chosen. It was no Chrysamere, but Aldaril was satisfied.

"So, since I got Volderug or whatever, do I get a bonus?" Sel asked hopefully; he needed a little extra gold to go pick up a couple things for himself and his sister.

Aldaril was in too good a mood to say no, so he dug in his purse for Sel's bonus. No sooner had Aldaril placed the coins in Sel's hand than they arrived in Sadrith Mora, just outside the Gateway Inn.

"Come on, Vysi. I have something to go get you." he said, running off into the city.

Aldaril was left far behind, shaking his head at youthful energy.
