BECK & MAYO BAY

A dispersed ray of light slanted through the drapes in the biggest room of the farmhouse. Dust motes danced lazily in the sunlight, and a cool breeze blew right into the room and caressed the face of its only occupant.

Allison's Tavern was one of the favorite spots for the people of Mayo Bay. Located close to the entrance of the quiet town, Allison's Tavern served as a comfortable place for relaxation and shelter. It was best known
