The Lament of a Twin...You walk out of the backdoor of the tavern into the alleyway to relieve yourself or have a smoke or whatever it is you came out here to do. You turn and notice a small elven woman sitting on a barrel, she was hunched over, hands to her head, her straight purple hair hung below her knees in her curled position.

Her hands cover her face, but when you inquire if she is okay she will lift her normally attractive face towards you. Even now, with reddened and tear-filled eyes, she had an attractive quality to her.

“Me? I’m fine,” she says, wiping her eyes with her sleeves, “It’s my damn sister. She is always either exuberantly happy or deeply saddened. And as her twin I must endure it as well, you see I feel her emotions.”

She sniffs heartily through her nose, “I’m alright, really. It has passed. Sometimes it just gets to be too much. My name is Jo'L, By-the-way.”

“Why is my sister so sad? Well that’s a story all in itself friend,”

“Alright if you say so…”

“See Taz, My sister, fell in love about 40 years ago.”

“Yes we are Elves so that is not such a span of time. But anyway, this love, a girl no less, left our village with her parents, headed for the fabled Belemonth.”

“Yes, you heard me right, my sister’s a dyke, a lesbian, I mean she likes girls, if ya know what I mean. Well she likes men also, more so because I do and she feels my emotions and desires just as I do hers. We’ve left many a lucky boy and a few girls behind us on our journey so far.” A coy wink escapes the elven girl.

“But I digress, So My sister went mad, she had whined and moaned and pouted and dreamed of this girl for forty long years. And I’ve had to witness, and suffer through her moping as well as her manic highs when she gets word of the girl, or any hint of the way to Belemonth.”

“For my part, I’m just along for the ride in the hopes of finding this girl and the chance for my sister (and myself) to find a sense of stability. I’ve had some fun along the way.”

“We met a Cleric recently, kind’a cute too, he says he knows the way to Belemonth. So that’s where we are going.”

“Alright I’ve talked to much. Hey you are kind of cute, want to come to my room and help me forget about my sister for awhile. If you are any good She might even want some of you after she experiences my pleasure for herself.”
