Tales From The Wyrd Museum 3: The Fatal Strand

by Robin Jarvis

  'The undine's come to live under 'ere now,' Edie explained, 'and just look what he's done! Just look!'

  From the darkness a familiar, rasping voice came calling, and out into the hallway a creature came swooping, circling about their heads to cast off the last drops of sacred water until finally he alighted upon Neil's shoulder.

  'Zooks hurrah!' Quoth squawked. 'Zooks hurroosh!'

  'Raven...!' the imp gargled. 'Gogus ... Raven... Gogus!'

  'Now will you stay?' Edie asked gently.

  It was some moments before Neil could answer. Then, in a choked and sobbing voice, he laughed out loud. Tickling Quoth under his beak, he said, 'Of course I will. This is The Wyrd Museum—our home.'
