Felodas was scouting in the Thunderblacks one day, when from his dragon he spotted a queer being strolling around, doing nothing at all. As he descended, the being cowered, afraid he would be attacked. Felodas noticed it was a merman. And he had a water sprite pet too.
Felodas approached the merman, and asked him, cautiously, "Who are you? And what are you doing here?"
The other man replied. "I am Piquano, a traveller, from Serendipity. I am just exploring. And who are you to question me?"
"I am Felodas Nallmiel, Lord Captain of Dragonriders, in the service of King Akkiel."
Piquano looked like he saw a ghost for a moment.
"What is it? Enquired Felodas."
"Nallmiel, I have seen that name before. An Elf, Farthas Nallmiel. I didn't read on becaus..."
"Farthas! That is my father, who abandoned me as a child. Though one hundred years is but a blink in the life of an elf."
"I know where I can find this. But a dark spell now hangs over the place. We cannot go just us to. There must be others. I fear there are evil forces residing in the shadows." Explained Piquano.
Felodas told Piquano to mount his dragon, and the flew to Ketra.
Felodas announced to a large group of people his situation.
"We will be in the Castle courtyard at dusk. Whoever helps us will be rewarded."
And with that, Felodas and Piquano slicked away, and waited.
