 Shopkeeper Percival was successful in burning all of the infected grain in a bonfire. His actions in locating the source of the mysterious illness, allowed Surgeon Gavin to come up with an effective anti-virus and eradicate the illness.  Percival was deemed a hero and given the title of  Trader Percival.
 Shortly after, Queen Chalyela the Great was given notice that Elton, the Snoozemeister of Snordwich wanted to pay Archolia a visit.  Chalyela chose Prioress Ermine to welcome the Snordwich leader, give him a tour of the kingdom and later escort him to the castle.
Prioress Ermine felt honored to be chosen by the queen to greet the Snordwich leader.  Taking her duty very seriously, Ermine changes into an outfit more fitting for welcoming a foreign leader.
After quickly changing, Ermine hurries to the forest entrance to welcome the leader.
Meanwhile, Trader Percival has received a pigeon post from a local village merchant requesting to meet with him.  He agrees to meet, but before he leaves, he spends some time with his infant daughter Iliana, just before she ages up to a child.
Queen Chaleya has asked Prioress Ermine to host the Snordwich leader at the church for an evening; treating him to one of her special sermons in the morning.  Ermine and her crew has worked all night to be sure that the church is immaculate and ready for a leader.
Ermine approaches the gate leading to the forest…
…and Trader Percival’s daughter ages up.
Iliana cannot wait to explore the kingdom and meet a few friends in the process.
Prioress Ermine finally arrives at the forest.
She can see that the Snordwich leader has kept his traveling party small, just himself and one personal guard.
 Ermine stands to the side as Elton, the Snordwich leader, makes sport out of dueling one of the Archolia guards.
 While Ermine waits for the Snordwich leader to end his duel, Trader Pervical meets with Shopkeeper Kristine outside of his home. “Greetings Shopkeeper Kristine, I cannot help but be curious what you wanted to see me about.”
 “It is this,” she says holding up a small bag. “These pendants just appeared on the counter of my shop.  I tried, but cannot sell them.  I knew that if anyone could, it is you.”
 She continues, “I do not even want any of the profit.”


Percival reluctantly grabs the bag, wondering what the catch is.  It is unlike Shopkeeper Kristine to give anything away for free.

 “So let me get this straight…you want me to sell these, but want none of the profit?’


“Well, they are not technically mine.  Like I said, they just showed up on my counter.”

 Percival still finds it odd, but says nothing further.  He can make a handsome profit off of the pendants.
 Percival has four pendants to sell.  This should be a piece of cake, he says to himself.
 Percival looks around the market and spots a woman standing next to one of his stalls.
Percival walks over and tries to sell her a pendant.
