Chapter 3

I cant believe my little Polyana is all grown up and heading off to the mage
tower for schooling. It was just yesterday that she turned thirteen and I
gave her that little bugger and her first journal. That gnome has destroyed
more things in this house than any damn dog could have, but Polly would never
speak to me again if I got rid of him. Well, the time is drawing near when
she leaves that he can have a little accident. I hate to do it because our
vegetables from the garden have been the best things Ive ever tasted over
the last few years, but Im so tired of picking up his messes! He never
seems to cause the same sort of trouble outside, but inside it seems like he
is very uncomfortable and unruly. I cant even count the number of times I
had to help my little Polly find him hidden under some bush sleeping.
Hopefully her mother will understand what needs to be done so we can get rid
of the little bastard. I am certainly going to do my best to keep a few
vials of his blood around for more testing. I am glad Polly never figured
out why he looked more pale than usual on some days, and to his credit the
little bugger kept his word and didnt say anything after my threats.

I know that Polly sees him as her little friend and the best thing I ever got
her, but he sure cost me a lot of coin and favors with the Enforcer and
Tribunal Guard.Ill have to make sure I hire someone a little more uncouth
to take care of his coming departure.

the fire that burned down his house and claimed his life.
