”Huh?” Mirabel turns around after a thump coming from outdoors. “What was that?” She opens Home Cauldron’s front door to the early morning sun and looks down. “A newspaper?” She scans the view down the road and around the yard, but no-one is there. She looks up and her gaze is caught on a figure in the sky. An aven courier. His earthy plumes and bright tunic, otherwise tightly wrapped around him, has a strand of a ribbon floating in the wind. His carrier bag swinging loosely behind him with letters poking through as he waves at Mirabel. Mirabel waves back from the ground and heads back inside tossing the paper on the kitchen table. “I didn’t order anything… I hope I don’t have to pay for this” she thinks to herself. Front page of the Harima Journal has a large headline: “CARAVAN RAIDS ON RISE! Traders and travelers on high alert”.

    It isn’t even fit for lighting the fireplace, it doesn’t burn it melts.
