| The ad Agnes wrote to the Poste helped. Callum, who I had met during the Festival of Tales wanted to come and see what he could do. Lyim the merchant was there, as well as one who presented himself as Bertrand. Aegnor from the Silverleaf Village, and the lovely Myka. And one named Jake and another who never really presented himself to me. A woman named Lucy also came by. We moved upstairs where we had seen the ghost last time, I of course letting brave ones up the stairs first.
The ghost seemed to flicker. Sometimes being there visible to us all, other times not. Lyim, who has a gift it seems, told us he could see the thing all the time, but that it manifests itself by choice to us.
We chased it trough the whole Castle, and ended up at the runelibrary downstairs, where it seemed to linger, staring at a shelf. Lyim approached and talked to it. It responded at first with a simple: Lost.
Then it spoke again and said" Save my books"
With all gathered we discussed how it could be interpreted. Why didn`t it move away from the castle? Had it been brutally murdered somehow and that was the reason it was linked to the place, not able to rest? Lucy then suggested that it was perhaps murdered for a book. What kind of book could that be, that would lead to such a horrible act I wonder. Myka suggested it could be a rare book, one that held a secret.Then the ghost spoke again.
"Dal Mohr" - it said. At least that was what Lyim told us it said. No one else could understand it. Then it went silent again.
I have never heard of the name, and do not know whether or not it`s a place or person or anything. But we agreed that searching trough the libraries might be a good approach - to see whether this is mentioned somewhere. Good now that I have "The Library way", a useful collection of runes to various libraries.
Since I didn`t want to spend the night in a haunted Castle I accepted the kind gesture from Aegnor to stay over in the Silverleaf Village. They arranged for me to sleep in a rather cosy room in the Ranger`s Tower. It is nice here, and wonderfully ghost free.
