Stories

Flower

A flower picked somewhere. Probably because of some unknown elfin blessing, it shows its pistils and stamens instead of withering right away. It's a pity that the fragrance is weak.

Beret

A small hat made of wool and linen that holds up the hair.

Supposedly, the hat's purpose is to increase the wearer's height, thereby augmenting dignity and gravitas. But this hat also provides a scholarly air and, of course, a hint of playfulness.

Pot

To the people at the time, it was just a doodle of some troublemaker,

but it had implied the trend of the future to some extent.

Laurel Tiara

A headband woven from fresh bay leaves with flower buds that give off a sweet fragrance. Laurel wreaths often symbolize victory and honor while also granting the wearer a clear mind. Most importantly, the green complements her hair color well.

Water

No one knows why water comes out of the pot or why La Source always makes fun of travelers in the forest. Anyway, the people are still sure that the water possesses some kind of magical power that will realize their wishes.

Terracotta Jar

A terracotta pot found on a shallow riverbank, detailed with geometric paintings that exhibit fine aesthetics. Its unexpected lightness makes it easy on the user's wrist.

Spring Elfin

People are always in pursuit of the unknown and attaching some kind of meaning to it.

For instance, the Spring Fay, who can make people's wishes come true, is hidden in wishing springs within unnamed forests.

In a certain forest where the fog never dissipates, there is an old pot from which spring water gushes out endlessly. As fay maidens used to wander around the spring, the legend of "the fay in springs" came about, which subsequently spread to the nearby villages and towns. They all said that you need only throw a coin into the pot and all your hopes and dreams will come true.

The legend might be false, or it might be a slight deviation from reality.

What we know for sure is that not all fay are that competent. At the very least, La Source isn't.

Something Strange

09/07 Cloudy

Nothing serious happened today.

A traveler passed by, supported a coughing old woman all the way. Nothing abnormal. He found 7 gold coins near the exit ... Hmm, need to check more carefully in the next patrol.

11/27 Rainy

A rich man from town came to the forest with his servants to hunt and hurt many animals and plants. Failed to persuade him to stop. They tossed a lot of coins into the wishing pot and said "may the general appreciate me." Tsk!

A storm suddenly struck on their way back, and his expensive furs were all ruined. Haha!

11/28 Cloudy

My leg that those stupid servants hit hurt even worse. Was going to make a wish in the pot, but had no money and gave up. Stood by the pot for a while and took out the coins inside.

11/29 Sunny

My leg's cured for no reason. Looks like the onion soup from last night worked.

Regarding the call for banning metals from the forest

Pandora Wilson: I would like to ask ...

La Source: Humph! Another one wishing for ... Wait, you are a mouth?! Where have you put the coin?

Pandora Wilson: Ahem—I doubt that spraying water into the mouth of a new guest is a polite thing to do.

La Source: Ugh! Sor ... It's all their fault!

Pandora Wilson: Their, fault?

La Source: Those idiots, they thought they can get what they want for just a few coins!

Pandora Wilson: ...

La Source: I will always "help" them!

Pandora Wilson: I think this is probably not what they wished for. Ahem ... but I sincerely hope to see improvement one day.
