Vital Statistics (at time of interview)

Introduction

Just as I am about to leave the docks of the Enchanted lands, heading for Qenous a swift breeze of salty air rushes towards me carrying a message. It's Lady Olonia, she wants to know if I can spare some time to conduct her interview. As I step into the tavern a gentle Iksar lady with steps forwards to me and asks me if I would like to have tour of the house which I gladly accepts too. Having absorbed the ambient of the tavern and been given the tour of the house the Lady and I walk up the stairs and we are ending up sitting on a small isle of pillows right by the mirror. Sitting face to face with the dark lady with ice blue markings she offers me a cup of Beetle tea before we start the interview. I am sorry to say that I haven't had many opportunities to get know this lady but in her presence I can't feel anything but warmth.

I never assked to be a officer. I jusst wanted to help and run events for people, becausse thatss what I enjoys. I jusst hope otherss like what they read. I assure her of that the reading will be most pleasant, and with that I stand up , getting ready to leave as the both of us is in a great need of rest and thank the Lady for taking her time to share herself with us all and tell that I am sure off that the Interview will be good and inspiring reading for our family members.

As I descend the stairs down to the first floor of the house I just can't help thinking that there is much more to this Iksar than what is meeting the eye. I just can't shake the feeling of this warmth that is oozing out of her. Just as I am about to open the taverns door I hear the Iksars voice ...

Olonia: I would like to add something for the interview…. Thiss ssword I have here...(Scalesplitter). well it wass a free gift. Given to me by ssomeone sspecial, they help make me ssmile every day in Norrath. Zaphire: May I ask who it was that gave it to you? Olonia: Me wantss to keep it a ssecret. Me hopess you undersstand. You see itss my hope ..... Itss my hope they read thiss and see it. If you forgive me now I musst ssleep

I bid her a good night and walks out of the tavern, heading for me bed still feeling that warmth of Lady Olonia's presence.
