Fortieth

Every morning now, Emily rose early to eat breakfast with Merwyn before spending several hours studying and researching ancient texts, scrolls, and tomes from the vast libraries within the tower.

Her routine during her afternoon included wandering about the vast interior of the structure exploring every inch of it carefully while questioning any of the fae whom she encountered about the origins and history behind its existence.

She learned much from their discussions though mostly of trivial facts or details regarding Merwyn's youth as a fae.

Really, she learned mostly about Merwyn's pranks and very little about the tower or its curse.

So she couldn't just talk to Merwyn.

If she was going to find a way out of this tower not just for herself but for all of the fae trapped in it, she needed to talk to the rest of the fae as much as possible as well.
