Fortunate Foundling
This charcoal drawing of a child wearing fabulous (if stereotypically Pentolan) clothes and draped with jewels is sketched on a thin sheet of ironoak. Dangling from one corner, a handful of tiny iron charms dangling from copper chains, three missing.
I was able to verify this work only by use of a Truthing dweomer on the seller’s witness. When one of the attached charms is removed and fed to someone younger than the owner, the child miraculously comes into wealth and luck at every turn; however, equal misfortune befalls the owner.
It’s good that the censors will never know about the hours we spent together with the tailors
down on the Threaded Canal. I’ll never forget those afternoons trying on all sorts of garb, or
the way you posed while I drew you.
