[Elrios]

---

The moon was out in full over Gauntlet Isle, and Elrios stood leaning against a tree, his wide-brimmed hat covering most of his dark blue eyes. A grin came across his face as he sat watching Molly Teach standing on the bridge to the main land, watching the water.

Elrios loved the look of terrible sadness on her face, it sustained him, but he had to break his silence. He could never approach Smogg after such a long absence without bringing him something special. She would be it.

Silently he moved to her side.

"Evenin' m'lady," he said with a smile.

"Oh, Elrios...hello," Molly replied, not taking her eyes off the water.

He had always held some sway with Molly. Humans always live in the past, wallowing in it. He knew why she stood here.

"Cmon Molly, tell ol' Elrios whats wrong," he said, moving closer and putting his arm around her waist.

She offered no resistance to his advance, she never did.

"I...I want to find my husband's body and give him a proper burial," she said in between sobs, "he didn't deserve what happened to him."

Elrios drew her to his chest and whispered into her ear "I know who can find 'im," with a subtle grin.

Molly then demanded to know who this person was, and after replying with the name Smogg Azalin, her face turned sour. She loathed the man, probably with good reason, but Elrios could care less. She was his key.

"When've I steered ye wrong, Molly? 'ave I not always been truthful? Ye can trust me, Molly."

Including her name and the word "trust" in the same sentance was her bane. The words struck home. He could feel Molly's body going less tense. A twisted grin came over him.

Elrios and Molly walked back to her home near the bridge. She excused herself to go and find some paper and a quill and ink. She sat at her writing desk as Elrios looked over her shoulder. She looked up at him and smiled slightly and looked back to the parchment. She wrote a short note to Smogg and beconed the dove that was perched on the tree in her garden to come to her. The dove landed in her hand with a gentle flutter of white wings. She attached the note to his tiny leg and raised her hand to the air. It lofted it's way into the stary night. She smiled up at Elrios and they moved to the chairs in the garden and talked late into the night.


Greetings Smogg,

I would like to request a meeting in regards to a personal matter having to do with possible use of your services.

Lady Molly
