"I've heard the term 'mimir' <strong>be</strong>fore. What else can you tell me about him?"<br />

"Mimirs are encyclopedias <strong>of</strong> knowledge. The owner may ask them<br />

questions, and if they possess the knowledge, they will inform the user <strong>of</strong><br />

what it knows."<br />

"And Morte is a mimir?"<br />

"I <strong>do</strong>n't <strong>be</strong>lieve so. Morte lacks the silvery metal that mimirs cus<strong>to</strong>marily<br />

have. And he seems <strong>to</strong> have an attitude <strong>of</strong> his own. Such qualities are <strong>not</strong><br />

present in conventional mimirs." Grace shrugged slightly. "He may <strong>be</strong> one,<br />

but he's unlike any I've ever encountered."<br />

I grumbled, "I <strong>do</strong>n't <strong>be</strong>lieve Morte is a mimir, either."<br />

"Perhaps there is some test <strong>to</strong> verify his authenticity... but I would <strong>not</strong> <strong>do</strong><br />

one if you value him as a friend. If you <strong>do</strong>, then you must accept what he has<br />

<strong>to</strong>ld you."<br />

When we found them, Annah was deep in the bub. Without a word she<br />

<strong>to</strong>ssed the satchel <strong>of</strong> coins at me and steadying herself on the bar she tried<br />

<strong>to</strong> stand. I caught her as she stumbled... Annah must've had quite a few. She<br />

really wasn't a stumble kind <strong>of</strong> girl.<br />

"Gerr<strong>of</strong>! Get OFF!" she snarled, ripping herself away from me, "I can stand<br />

on me own..."<br />

"What's with her?" I murmured <strong>to</strong> Morte as we went on our way.<br />

"Angry drunk," he said, bobbing with a shrug, "Probably just a<strong>not</strong>her mug<br />

away from shattering the bottle against the wall like a sopped-up harlot."<br />

I chuckled, but <strong>be</strong>neath my grin I knew he was lying <strong>to</strong> me again.<br />

~~~~~<br />

Sebastion smiled at our approach. "Good day, cutter. It's good <strong>to</strong> see you<br />

again."<br />

I cut <strong>to</strong> the chase, "Actually, I want <strong>to</strong> talk <strong>to</strong> you about Dimtree."<br />
