Meet My Assistant

What are you gawping at? No. Not a dragon. A wyvern. Why don't you ask her yourself? She can talk you know.

Vervain says: "I've never met a mortal before, but I always thought they'd look more appetizing."

Well that's rude. She doesn't breathe fire you know, and she'll only spit poison  if you really upset her.

Vervain says: "I think we should turn them in to the Magistrate."

Of course this is coming from an illegal pet who happens to live in my library. Since she's here however, feel free to direct any questions to her. Also, from now on she'll be defining important terms that are crucial to understanding each novel.
