[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!

[axwielding]

Do you know if there is a river around here somewhere?

[protosshaze]

Yes, but the river is very far away in the Dead Zone. Can we use the duck pond?

[wilder]

A river?

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

[wolfchild]

What are wishtags?

[ofhope]

I only know about dream catchers...

[axwielding]

How large is the duck pond?

[axwielding]

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

[axwielding]

You use it to have wishes or prayers granted.

[axwielding]

Dream catchers...?

[wolfchild]

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

[protosshaze]

I'm not sure... But there is a giant squid living inside, so it must be big.

[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.

[axwielding]

A giant squid? I wonder if it would eat our wishes.

[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. ]

[protosshaze]

I'm not sure. Should we try it?

[axwielding]

Have you attempted a wish tag before? It worked for me once before, back home.

[wolfchild]

If I didn't know what they are, how could I use one?

[axwielding]

I do not see why we shouldn't.

[axwielding]

You do not know if it would work or not as well.

[wolfchild]

[ A scoff. ]

They never do.
