[From The Saga of the Loyal and Cultured Bezerker, who was Anåbæl Two-Stœp]
Following her first true adventure [#1] in Kantas (gliding on the frozen waters nearby), Ana was invited to spend a few days in NH with the Harengon Cleric and Grandmother Boosya and her husband, Oswald.
Though their hearts were big, their house was small, to suit their furry frames... So our noble heroine took the opportunity to work on her thigh muscles, and did a lot of crouching indoors.
Keen to repay the kindness of the elderly couple, she offered to perform some manual work around the house.
Narrowly avoiding disaster while daydreaming of their recent ice-skating, and nearly falling off a ladder, Ana eventually made good headway with roof repairs and some other heavy maintenance, improving the weatherproofing and structural soundness of the property, and feeling like she earnt her keep.
To her great surprise and happiness, Boosya decided to make Ana a warm winter hat of knitted golden fabric, plaited in the style of blonde hair, which could also be unwrapped to form a scarf.
Not that anyone would know (!), but Ana's current hair was in fact fashioned herself as a wig made out of woven straw... but to be honest it was starting to fall apart, and to get more than than a little scratchy, so she was more than delighted to be able to subtley(!) replace it with I've so finely crafted as she had just received.
What could be nicer, than to receive a gift that helped Ana to appear to everyone else, much closer to how she truly saw herself.
... Musical Interlude ...
Holes - Passenger -
Hearts on Fire - Passenger/Sheeran -
...
With her heart and her belly full, Ana strode off to seek her fortune in the capital of Daring Heights ... and was almost able to forget the shadow that lingered on her shoulder, and in the back of her mind.
