She was supposed to give a summary?

Issy did not like summaries. She was very bad at them and tended not to tell the story properly or add too many details. Head boggled, she strained to remember the faint fairy tale.

"Uhm. Well," she began with a very bad start. "There was this man called Milluccio who once found a dead raven on this rock and he kind of fell in love with the idea one day having a wife as black as its wings, as red as its blood and as white as its stones or something." Had Issy mentioned that this story was not particularly happy? "And his brother, Jennariello, persuaded his brother to tell him of his dream. Once he had, the second brother set out by ship and went off somewhere and he proceeded to buy a falcon and a horse. He met up with this beggar who got him to tell his story and the beggar begged at someone's house who had a daughter called Liviella who looked just like Milluccio's dream of a wife did."

This was long winded. Ag.

"Basically, Jennariello kidnapped Liviella and at first she was all upset and despairing but he told her about his brother and she was actually really intrigued and curious to meet Milluccio. So, they're on their way home and these two doves fly over and they tell Jennariello that the first time the bird sees Milluccio, it's going to peck his eyes out and that if the second brother warns the first or does not bring the bird, Jennariello would turn to marble. He said something similar for the horse, who would break Milluccio's neck upon the first ride, and then said that a dragon would kill both Milluccio and Liviella on their wedding night, but gave the same forebodings if Jennariello was to warn his brother or not deliver the girl."

Merlin. People were probably getting bored.

"So, of course the second brother wanted to save the first. And he brought the horse and falcon to Milluccio, but then killed him. And after his brother and the girl were wed, he took a sword and fought the dragon. But this his brother woke and the dragon disappeared and Milluccio had his brother imprisoned for being a traitor and sentenced to die the next day and all. In order to die innocently, Jennariello told the truth and because of this, he turned to marble."

Pausing, Issy pursed her lips and glanced at the Professor, before peeking around the room.

She debated about telling the rest of the story. About the twin babies and killing them to use their blood to restore Jennariello and Livellia nearly jumping from a window and her father stopping her and restoring the lives of the babies, but she'd already been babbling and that was rather gruesome anyway. So, she tapped her fingers on the table. She was done.
