Chapter 39 - Welcome to Glimmerbrook

"Mein Gott, are you not Miranda Silveroak-Goth?" the stranger seemed extremely excited.

"Ummm..." she stammered.
"Forgive me," the stranger continued. "My name is Professor John Faust. Though we have never met, I have a long acquaintance with the Silveroak family."

"Please, sit with me," Professor Faust continued. "Do you enjoy chess?"

"We were, of course, all devastated to hear about the attack on your family... and we feared for your safety. Where have you been all these months?"

"Eh... if you don't mind, I'd rather not talk about it," Miranda replied.
"No, of course," Professor Faust nodded kindly. "Forgive me. It is just such a gift to find you well... and here, in Glimmerbrook."

Miranda considered the Professor, then said, "I... I understand my family, I mean the Silveroaks, had a house here in Glimmerbrook. I was hoping..."
"Of course," he smiled, "Glimmerbrook Watch has long been in the Silveroak family and now, naturally, it would belong to you."

"There is just one thing I must do first," the Professor said.

"What?" Miranda gasped.
"Ah, she makes a very good statue," he laughed. "The frog, I admit, is a little on point but I couldn't resist. Oh and Count Vladislaus Straud sends his regards."

"You >:) :# :# :o !" Miranda shouted, the Moonwood Wand in her hand almost without thought.

"Very good, my dear," Faust grinned. "Now let me show how a real sorcerer duels!"

"Oh," Miranda snarled, the power of the rising moon surging through her. "You mean like this!"

"Oh," Gwen sighed. "My poor girl. My poor, poor girl."

Tears pouring down her face, Miranda told Gwen what had happened... finding the wand, her decision to come to Glimmerbrook, Nick's death.

"It takes a moment, but you'll be alright," Gwen reassured them.

"Oh," Gwen rubbed his arm in gentle support.
