[There's a few movement noises before a quiet voice speaks up.]

Wishtags. Or wish charms, does anyone know how to make one? My friend taught me one back home, but it required both a river and a friend's help.

I want to make a different one. Something for a friend that went back home....

...If anyone knows any charms that have the same effect, I would be honored to hear about them.

[a pause.]

Thank you for your time.

Why do you need a river?

[axwielding]

You would burn the tag and float it down the river.

[protosshaze]

Why do you burn it? [sorry Presea, but you are getting all the questions]

[axwielding]

[It's a good thing that she has the patience for all these questions]

So that your wish could be released.

[protosshaze]

Oh. I want to make one!

[wilder]

A river?

Uh..I don't know if any are around, but think the duck pond would work?

[axwielding]

I do not know. I would have to ask Sheena.

[wilder]

Oh right...

If not the closest river I know is in the Dead Zone.

[axwielding]

Then I will go there if the duck pond is not enough..

[wilder]

Huh. You're really determined about this, aren't you?

[wolfchild]

What are wishtags?

[axwielding]

You use it to have wishes or prayers granted.

[wolfchild]

There's no point to that here. You can just wish.

[axwielding]

This is a different type of wish. One such as 'I hope that my friend back home is safe.' Or 'I hope that my brother comes here.'

Wishes the castle cannot grant.

[wolfchild]

Because no one can grant those wishes.

[ Never mind her brother has recently come. It had naught to do with wishing. If her wishes came true, all her brothers would be here. Her father would have been the first to arrive. ]

[ofhope]

I only know about dream catchers...

[axwielding]

Dream catchers...?

[ofhope]

It's not really the same thing, more of the opposite? But it could be a good gift. It's supposed to catch nightmares and keep them at bay while you sleep, so you only have good dreams.

[axwielding]

It stops you from having bad dreams?

[ofhope]

Supposedly. I've never tried one.

[hellshaped]

I have a lot of charms, but they're all for specific things. What were you looking for?

[axwielding]

I want a charm to wish my friend well.., do you have one as such?

[hellshaped]

Do you mean she's sick?

[axwielding]

No, she is not sick. She is gone.

[hellshaped]

[Oh. That kind of wishing well.]

Well... I have a St. Christopher medal. The patron saint of travelers.
