Omen: 5, 19
Adam smiled, staring at his Omen.
“Are you feeling lucky today?” Sonarot asked.
“Very,” Adam replied. “Yesterday I mao do well without my luck, but today I’m guarao make something nice.” ‘I ’t believe I rolled a natty twenty. This on is going to be pretty great.’
Lanarot and ready to explore the festival a all the food she wao.
“Don’t miss me too much,” Adam said, brushing her hair before leaning down to kiss her forehead. She did not wear the paint after the first day, since she kept scratg her forehead.
Lanarot looked up at him, reag up to grab his colr, before trying to pull herself up. She stood on his p, with Adam’s hands at her waist to make sure she didn’t fall.
“What’s wrong?” Adam asked.
“Obooboo?” she asked, befiggling wildly.
“You ’t say that, Lanarot,” Adam said, brushing her hair.
Lanarot ughed at him, squatting down, before shooting herself up, boung as she clutched at his colr.
“What did she say?” Sonarot asked.
“She said I retty strong.”
“Is that not good?”
“Pretty strong for an Elf.”
Sonarot wondered if she should tih his joke.
“I’m only half an Elf, Lanarot,” Adam said, ping her cheek, jiggling it. “Get it right.”
“Hee!” Lanarot grinned wide with her tiny little teeth, before resting her head against his chest. “Booboo.”
“Yeah, yeah, I love you too.” Adam pat the back of her head gently.

‘Looks like I’m spending too much XP on ons for just a little gold,’ Adam thought. ‘I should probably stop spending so muless it’s a gift, or it’s an important on.’
Once Adam was finished with his on, he brought it to Elder Zijin, who was beaming at him with joy that he got to py with it first.
“This will sell well,” he assured. “To strike so hard, this is quite the on.”
“I knht?” Adam said, smiling. “I bet it’ll sell for more than usual, huh?”
Zijin nodded his head. “The ons you have handed previously should be sold before Twilight Month, this on as well.”
“Alright. I think I’m doh enting.”
“Yes,” Zijin said. “I recall you saying you would take the entire festival off to rest.”
“I said that?” Adam asked.
“Yes.”
“When?”
“Earlier in the month.”
“Really? That doesn’t sound like me.”
“You have such big pockets.”
“I remember that,” Adam said, slowly nodding his head. “Well, I mean, I did have such good luck.”
Elder Zijin stared at the Half Elf.
“Yes, but…”
Elder Zijin tio stare at him.
“Holy, I just fot.” Adam shrugged his shoulders. “Okay. No more enting. I am going to enjoy myself for the wo days without w about enting.”
Elder Zijin tio stare at him.
Adam double checked the supplied he had requested, before returning back to the estate, where Jogak was currently roasting a boar. ‘Where the hell do they get all these boars from?
“What is wrong?” Sonarot asked.
“I told Elder Zijin I was going to take the week off,” Adam said.
“I was informed such.”
“Right,” Adam replied, clearing his throat. “I fot.”
Sonarot smiled. “You were so excited to ent.”
“I did roll, really, really well,” Adam said.
“If you wished to ent, then you should ent, as long as it is not the Twilight Month.”
“Right, it’s dangerous then, so I’ll probably smith.”
“Are you afraid of rest?” Sonarot asked.
“Maybe.” Adam took the girl from her mother, looking down at her tired face. “You will protect me from the scary things, won’t you? From hard work a?”
Lanarot groaned quietly, wanting to go to sleep after drinking her milk. Adam let her fall asleep in his arms first, before Jurht the food over.
“What are you doing?” Adam asked, looking to Jurot and Jaygak, who had brought over an oven.
“Pizza,” Jurot replied, simply, and Adam o ask no further questions.
“Why is my grandson always so eager to work?” Jarot asked, bringing Churot with him to the estate with him, carrying over his shoulder a leather pabsp;
“Whose yrandson?” Adam grumbled, before he noted a few more visitors at the estate, Sir Vonda and the others.
“He is so shy,” Jarot said, chug. “You will have to bear with him, Sir Eastke.”
Vonda smiled, taking a seat on a nearby stool. “He is a kind soul.”
“That he is. Kind, and vicious.”
“Stop filling Vonda’s mind with nonsense,” Adam protested.
“Sir Vonda,” Jarot corrected.
“It’s fine,” she said. “We are all friends here.”
Adam nodded, noting that the old Iyrman was handing out small witles. “Festival has a couple more days, eh? Anything iing?”
“Some snow races,” Jurot replied. “One of the didates for Elder Wrath will be fighting too.”
“Who?”
“Shamir.”
“Mir. As in, Ashmir?”
“Yes. If he bee Elder Wrath, his family’s success is guaranteed for the geion.”
“ he ma?”
“It will be difficult,” Jurot said. “Granduncle Rajin has thought about doing it, though he is older.”
“He will not do it,” Jarot assured. “He likes making his wioo much.”
“Did he make this snow wine?” Adam asked, about to take a sip.
“Yes.”
Adam slid it away.
“This wine is much sweeter.”
Adam pulled it closer.
“Who else? Anyone I know?” Adam asked. “It’s quite the event, so gimme the deets.”
“Zardon,” Jurot said.
“As in Brandon?”
Jurot nodded. “He is the favourite.”
“When’s it taking pce?”
“Within the six months. It allows time for the distant Iyrmen to return.”
“Any of you guys pnning on heading into the ring for the Elder osition?”
“Elder Wrath?” Jarot ughed. “No, no. My geion has given up on such heights, and the is currently w hard with their own matters. We still have so much to do for our beautiful little babies.” Jarot rubbed Churot’s cheek. “If anyone will bring us honour, it will be my little Jurot, Nirot, and Turot.”
Adam coughed. “Of course, my adorable little sister will bring the most honour,” Adam stated, raising his brow towards the old man.
“Of course!” Jarot said, erupting into a boisterous ugh.
“A Diamond Rank Adventurer, maybe two, and an Elder Peace,” Adam said, spying Turot from afar. “Plus, whatever Lanarot wants to be.”
“What of you, Adam?” Jarot asked. “You may be the oh the most aplishments.”
“I don’t know,” Adam said. “My greatest aplishment might be helping them all bee the best.”
Jarot nodded. “There are many who make a name for themselves in supp others.”
“That’s me,” Adam said.
“Sister Otkan had thought about it too,” Jarot said. “She ultimately refused.”
“Why?”
“She wishes to assist Shikan instead. Being a Great Elder means no longer assisting your family, but the entire Iyr. There is not need freat fighting ability, but the intelligence as well. For Elder Wrath, it is extremely important.”
“This may sound bad, but, the Elder Wrath I saw didly seem… you know.”
Jarot smiled a knowing smile. “That is because you have not seen him in battle. His intelligence is not the greatest, there were many others who peted against him with greater intelligence. Some, with greater strength. Yet, there was ohing they did not possess.”
“What’s that?”
“There was a time, many years ago, I fought the Elder Wrath you know. It was a petition for eion. We were grouped together, a out, and oal was to hunt one another, as though in war. It was held over three months, and we had no ability to supply ourselves from the Iyr.” Jarot smiled, thinking of the time.
“We came across Elder Wrath’s team. We were as strong as each other. Our abilities, in every way, matched one another, from scouting, to logistics, to tactics. The way he fought, you could see that there was something else in his mind. He could see the way the tides of battle ged, and moved accly.”
“What a boss,” Adam said. “Yet, even with that ability, he quit?”
“He was denied a good death, and his heart has been torn because of it,” Jarot said. “No matter how we vince him, the doubt and shame he feels, it ot be removed.”
“Damn.”
As they ate, figures appeared in the distahe children quickly shot up and rao the figures, embrag them tight.
‘Ah,’ Adam thought, seeing them all.
