When nothing happened, The Storyteller brought down his arm as his mind unwrapped itself from his spontaneous idea and hindsight kicked in. "The stories never end that simply" he commented in agreement with his companion as he looked ad the ring that sat on the ring finger of his left hand (Or his magic hand as The Storyteller liked to call it) "But even so, it was worth a try".

It was then that a familiar voice spoke up from somewhere in the back of his mind. [i]'The Storyteller's test was very astute'[/i] the voice said in a tone similar to that of a narrator telling a story [i]'Now it is time to test his powers of deduction. Hint: The fact that the ring did nothing upon receiving the wish is significant'[/i].

As the voice died away, The Storyteller's face morphed from the shocked expression he had when the voice spoke up to an expression of confusion and then to 1 of thoughtful deduction. [i]'The word 'Eru' inscribed on the ring[/i] The Storyteller thought to himself [i]'Which itself is an abbreviation for Erudessa. And the appearance of an angel signifies that this is help from beyond the grave. Therefore, Erudessa is the 1 granting these wishes but she must be dead to do so. As such, any wish to prevent her death or to bring her back will not be granted'[/i].

The Storyteller came out of his thoughts just in time to hear Ivan ask about the angel. "Oh that's just Tiberius" The Storyteller replied "He just turned into an angel to let us know that Erudessa is helping us out from the afterlife with wishing rings. And knowing my luck, I've just wasted my wish".
