The stranger knew that its gift giving was coming to an end. It was sad but the gifts he got for other people always cheered him up. It had traded one of its coats for a bottle of Pern's finest wine. It grinned widely as it thought it hadn't had a woman's company in a long time. It considered showing itself to Rhia but....it wasn't time. Not yet. Next year, definately next year.
It laid a sleeping Canine pup in a basket with the bottle of the wine insdie. The padding in the basket was the finest silk in all of Pern and goose feather down. She was getting the best. It sighed.
"Until next year, my flower." it said, gently as it kissed the the wine bottle. "Next year, you will all know who I am." it added. With a note attached.
'The canine pup is for the boys. The wine is for you. Only the best for my beautiful flower. Here is your first clue;
I am no one, yet everyone
Darkness clouds my sight
Until the morning light
I dream a dream
so sweet, so pure
It is of a beautiful flower.
It is of you.'
