Almost Done

Baby Treni was cradled in the arms of golden Jublun. Even as a new-born, she had a good amount of red hair growing from her little scalp, and her infantile factions were perfectly smooth, unlike human babies.

"That such wonderful little creatures can grow up to be a pain in the neck?" asked Irimena. "It makes me wonder why anyone would want one."

Krenen raised his eyebrows at Afena, who subtly smiled and shook her head.

"She should remember nothing," Afena told them. "But I've saved all her old memories in this cyrstal." She handed them the crystal that had been used to store the magical energy that kept the doors of the Inarenta college sealed.

"Are we sure we want to give them back to her eventually?" Jublun asked.
