Wise Owl

Wise Owl is an owl who lives in a tree in the forest near Fleur de Lys, who according to Simon 'doesn't look very wise'. He claims there is nothing he doesn't know and he can remember everything, but he isn't very good with words. He is also an astrologer.

The owl accosts Simon, but quickly forgets what it was he wanted. On waking up, he sheds a feather onto the floor which Simon collects. Then he attempts to give Simon helpful advice, most of which is very cryptic and not expecially useful. The tips he gives are:
