It was normally odd enough to receive a letter. Stranger that not only was it directly addressed to him, but Franz was unaware of the contact completely. The letter and parcel had arrived together. It was left on his desk for about a week before Franz had considered opening it. He'd carefully opened the envelope and unfolded the message, reading it over a few times.
"But I don't even celebrate Starlight..."
The confused look on Franz's face would have been plenty of proof to validify his claim. Folding the letter back to place it back in its letter and unwrapping the gift, he held up the crimson gemstone to get a better look at it. It was certainly nice-looking. And someone had intended to give it to him...
As he tucked it into a pocket, he decided there could be no home in a good-luck charm, because they simply didn't exist. And if it was "Blessed by the Twelve", then there was still nothing to worry about. Unknown to him, his own aether, if even just a little, unwound from the twisted knots it was usually in. Perhaps it may be a lucky day.
