Sums it up

"No, I think that one of us must have been," Hilda answers. "We're so close, that the other must have 'eavesdropped' on the dream. Maybe we should try to find this land of Allaria, and see if we can discover more about who this Astra was?"

Gilda looks at her twin and then sighs.

"Perhaps you are right," she concedes. "I know at least that we both shall not rest easy until this is resolved. Somehow I fear that the marks on our foreheads may also be linked with . . . .that dream."

Nothing about this latest development rested easily with her, honestly. Mystery marks that don't come off foreheads no matter how hard one tries. No longer being a part of their tribe. Now this, the very disturbing idea that either she or her dear sister may have actually been . . . shudder . . . a lowly human being!

Yes, both of them needed to go to this Allaria place and find out all they can about this "Astra" woman. It would have to be in the winter time because anything else . . . . too hot! Then there was another vexing problem with this, it required MONEY to travel very far even IF they lived off the land. Their not inconsiderable skills and strength as Frost Giants can take them far, but eventually their more valuable equipment would wear out (i.e. their metal weaponry and such wears out with use over time).

Oh, they could go out and try to BULLY information and money out of any humans who look like they could . . . afford it. But again, it was that lingering trace of their former lives that interfered, alas.

"So in addition to getting a job," Hilda sighs, looking at a few small coins in their lader. "We need to fish around for information not only on the meaning of these marks. We listen for any news about this 'Astra' human and the land of 'Allaria'. And lastly, we've got to put out feelers for any magic users . . they might be able to see if anything 'magical' has been done to us."

"Sums it up," Gilda nods.
