Part One… Prelude

"Where were you born?"

"Well, I was born in a city called Syl'viran. It was beautiful, the streets were made of many stones and the buildings… they were magnificent. One would think you could touch the stars if you were to reach the top of one… I guess, that was what I thought when I was little… It would probably look a lot different now. They were all elegantly designed, some parts of the buildings even embroidered around their base. There was writing along the side walls of our libraries, depicting a scene from our history. Statues of our leaders, fallen and current, were placed in front of the Elder's Temple, which was where our leader lived. And everyone had their place, and those who were beyond their original place moved forward."

"Were you one of them? The ones that moved forward?"

"Heh, yes I was. You see being a cleric is not rare, but it isn't common either. Whenever an elven child reaches the age of seven in Syl'viran they go into an apprenticeship where they learn skills to aid the city and our people. At first I was put into a magical arts apprenticeship, but my master told my parents of the gift I had, they then allowed me to train in an apprenticeship in a different school. After that I only saw them on holidays because the school was pretty much on the other side of the city, and that was where my training began.

"It was not exactly an apprenticeship it was more of a boarding school of sorts. There we had our own rooms where we slept and took care of ourselves. Our master provided us with food, but we had to keep our own rooms' clean, dress for the day, and do our own laundry.

"How many of you were there?"

"Hmmm… about ten of us I believe. Some of which knew each other because they were either siblings or friends from former apprenticeships… but I knew no one. And at first I did not like it there. I wanted to live with my parents, I was still a child, at the age of seven, and I wanted their comfort, and care, but when I asked my master if I could return, he told me, 'that what I have been given was a gift'. And that I should not squander it because I feared to live on my own.' Of course I was little and did not accept that answer, so I asked him if he liked living this way when he had to be taught how to control these 'gift given' abilities. He said no… and that was why he offered to teach other young ones like me. He said he knew what I was going through and that as long as I did not make it worse by not accepting it, everything would be alright. I still did not like his answer, but I let the matter drop and began my studies.

"I heard of clerics before but I thought they were brought down by our gods to protect us, not to be born and raised to be what they were. So when my master told us that our first lesson was to move a rock, I thought he was crazy. I was a spell caster not a fighter; I did not have the strength to do something like that. But once our master told us to begin, I realized that I was not the only one. While four of the boys and two of the girls in the apprenticeship charged to finish the task, I and three others only looked at the stone with puzzlement."

"So some of the elven children were just born with strength?"

"Not exactly. Not all of them were seven like I was, I believe six of them were eight years old, so they had already trained long enough to gain the strength needed to complete the task."

"So how did you move it?"

"Heh… I did not. The four of us that could not complete our task told our master that the task was impossible for those of us learning to be spell-casters. But my master shook his head and told us that no task was impossible, and that all this meant was that we had to train harder to gain the strength needed to complete this task. You can already assume that neither of the four of us were very reluctant to see any of the other tasks following this one, especially with the warriors rubbing it in our faces. But our master would not let us move forward in the tasks until we attempted to move the stones. So I attempted, and that was all it was, an attempt. I pulled and pushed it, but the rock would not budge.

"After failing the first task we were brought into a room where our second task was, apparently, placed before us. The room was filled with sand, with a wood walk way only bordering the area. Neither of us could see what we were supposed to do next, so the master explained it. He sat us each in specific spots around the sand and told us that this is where our plant was to grow. The plant had to be full grown by the end of either today or tomorrow and after which we were all going to go plant them on the outer borders of the city."

"Oh I get it, this was a trick right? To see which of you guys weren't going to cheat."

"No, it was no trick, he really expected us to do this, just like he expected all of us to move those stones. It only took me a few minutes to come up with correct spell to make the plant blossom. And once the other three spell-casters saw my spell they did the same, and by the next day our plants were at full bloom. The warriors, of course, thought this task to be unfair because they did not possess a heightened enough magical ability to do such a thing. Our master just smiled and explained the true purpose of each of the two tasks. He said it was to show each of us, and himself, where we were lacking, and to show us where we should focus more of our training in the future.

"And after that day we almost became a little family. Those who were superior in magic helped out the warriors and those who were good with their strength, helped out the spell-casters. Many of the others got along well, but as much as I saw them try to accept me, the more I could tell that they did not want to."

"Why?"

"I am not sure… I was still young and I did not want to accept the answer that my master would have told me if I asked him. But I realized that every year, since I turned ten, my master would give me one or two tasks to complete, either inside or out of the city. The first of which, I thought, was very odd. In the early morning one day, he woke and brought me outside the gates of Syl'viran. I have never even been to the gates, much less outside them, but once we were out he explained the task to me. He said I was to find an artifact… it was an owl statuette, and he said it would help me with my training once I obtained it."

"What was your master's name?"

"What does it matter?"

"I just wanted to know, just curious as to why she calls him master and not by his name."

"His name was Kaz, haha, Master Kaz, which was not his full name but any way, back to the task. I was not sure how to get the artifact without a weapon, considering that I was not really the best at fighting yet either. Master Kaz then told me to use the tools and skills that I did know to get the artifact, then he turned to leave. I was scared, for one I had never been outside the city I did not know what was out in the forests that surrounded it. I wanted to tell him that I could not do it, but I knew that would not change his mind. All I had was a map leading to the artifact, and myself. I turned to see the three gates close, one by one behind me with the last one sealing away the first two, I was not going to be let back into the city without the artifact."

"You could have been killed out there!"

"Why would he leave you to die?"

"Master Kaz did not leave me to die… He gave me a task that he believed that I would be able to complete. I had never heard of anyone in the city to ever do such a thing, as to make anyone leave the city to their death without a cause. But Master Kaz wanted me to complete this, and since I knew I was not getting in without it, I started my search for the artifact.

"The map led me to a glade, where I found the statue sitting in the middle of the ground… unguarded. My first instinct was to run out and get it, but it took two steps into the run for me to see my fault. Before I took my third step I felt a string under my foot. I looked down to see a trick wire of some sort… I took a few steps back and saw that it surrounded the whole glade. I thought through as many scenarios that I could think of.

"If I burned the wire would it set off something?

"Was there a way around it? I even walked round the glade to see what would be tripped off if I cut the wire. I ended up not finding anything so I became frustrated and just burned the wire with one of my spells. Stupid idea. The statuette screeched at me, and broke away from its pedestal to attack. It swooped down multiple times trying to hit me. I wanted to burn the statue so it would stop attacking me, but I knew, if I melted it, I would have failed the task."

"Wait, it was an owl right?"

"Yes but it was still made of brass, when I burned the wire the statue grew to about my size, at the time, and attacked me… but it was still a statue. Anyway, I kept dodging its attacks until I figured out a plan. I decided that the next time it swooped down at me I would try to jump on its back. And when the time came I jumped. I fixed my arms around its neck, since the thing's feathers were solid. It spun in circles and screeched and tried to knock me off its back. I tried my best to direct it towards the city, but before I thought to land it, I realized that the statue might break if it hit the stone paths, so I shifted all my weight to turn it away from the city. Instead it just flipped upside down…And after holding onto it for a while it flipped right side up and turned back towards the glade. There, it pick up its pedestal, with its claws, then flew towards Syl'viran. I was frustrated now; I hated how stubborn this stupid bird statue was being. I did not want it to break so I made sure it fell on to the grass outside the city, which was where we both crashed and rolled onto. Although we both crashed on the same surfaces, I got up first and saw the bird struggled to get up. I told it that I was not going to hurt it."

"After you crashed it on the ground?"

"Other than that time… I told it that once I presented him to my master that I would let him go. As I spoke to it, I took slowly crept towards it, hoping that it might calm down. All it did was screech at me, but it stood in place. I finally got close enough to allow it stop screeching and smell my hand. I then petted it, it was finally relaxed. The owl then walked back onto its pedestal and shrunk back to its original form. I was so glad the task was finally over, so I picked up the statuette and presented it before the guardians of the three gates to Syl'viran. The guardians were these two humongous rock elementals, they looked as if stones tried to work together to mimic the body structure of a muscular man, they guarded the door along with two great trees that were rooted in the front of the gates only to make the passing more difficult. When I showed them the statuette the two trees opened their eyes and examined the statue. Then two earth elementals stood aside while the two trees used both their arms, or branches, to up root themselves from the ground to allow me to pass.

"Master Kaz, Julia isn't in her room!"

"Why wouldn't she be in her room, she knows that we can't go out unless we have Master Kaz's permission."

"Settle down my apprentices, if Julia decided to step out, then that was her decision. We are not going to let it affect our training today, are we?"

"No master Kaz."

"Good now let us begin…"

"Once I got through the gates I asked around to see if anyone could direct me back to Master Kaz's home. I finally got the directions, and headed for Master Kaz's Dwelling, and when I arrived, I guess I never realized how big it was, but I almost got lost on my way back to my room. On my way back I heard the others training in the battle room. I walked by to see if maybe I could hand my master the statuette before I went to get ready for the lesson. And so that the others could see that I was late because Master Kaz gave me something to do earlier that day. But once I glanced to see the class, it seemed like everyone was truly concentrating, and I would feel horrible if I disturbed one of his classes just for my own personal gain. So I decided to get ready for practice and to give my master the statue later.

"So I went to my room and got my equipment needed to start training with the others, and set the statuette on the floor. But I remember that once I got there everyone was mad at me for being late, except my master. I thought that he was going to tell the others where I had been when he quieted them, but it turned out that all he wanted to do was silence them so that we could continue the lesson,

"Julia? Where have you been?"

"Yeah you know, we can't leave to anywhere before practice without Master Kaz's permission."

Julia stood at the circular door to the battle room, blushing with embarrassment, she did leave with permission from master Kaz, the others just didn't know yet. "But Master Kaz did—"

"Silence everyone…"Everyone paused and looked to Master Kaz, and he looked back at them, almost having his gaze directed towards Julia, "This is a matter not to be discussed at this time." He then closed his eyes, "Julia, please get into formation with the others."

His icy stare froze Julia in place until he called her by name again. She then rushed into formation and continued the practice session with the others, her face still red with embarrassment.

"Once the day was over, and everyone headed off to either bed or to play with each other, I walked back to my room, wondering why my master did that to me. He humiliated me in front of the other students, making it seem like I was just skipping class even though I left to get something for him. And when I got to my room, before I opened the door, I changed my mind. He said I could talk about the matter 'later'; well class was over, and now was the time to talk about it. So I got the statuette from my dwelling, ran to his room and charged through the door…

Her footsteps were muffled by the laughter of the other students as they enjoyed her free time, irritated with how her master treated her earlier that day, Julia finally reached the sliding door to her master's room and forced it open, "Master Kaz! Why did you—"

"But when I entered I saw that he was in his meditation state, he could not hear a thing I was saying, or so I thought. I quietly closed the door and watched him. He has never shown us the meditation state before; it was when a cleric rejuvenates his or her energy. You summon all the elements, fire, water, earth, and wind, to surround your body in almost a giant orb or bubble. The only thing I could see of my master were his eyes, they glowed through the element's bubble with a whitish blue light. But I knew I could not stay and watch him. It was getting late, and I knew I had to make sure to be in class, on time for tomorrow's lesson, otherwise the others would think worse of me. It was not right, I was just doing what he asked, I should not have been punished for it.

"After I knew that I could not wait any longer, I headed for his door to leave. But before I touched the handle, I felt that the wind in the room stopped blowing. I turn to see my master coming out of his meditation state, floating back down to the ground. Once he hit the ground he stood up with his hand to his head and looked down at me. He smiled and explained to me what the statue was really for.

"Forgive me Julia, I thought that I'd be able to finish before you came to my room." Master Kaz then walked over to the door, locked it then took the statuette for Julia. "Come, I'll show you what this is used for."

Julia only looked up to him curious as to what he was doing, at first she thought he was mad at her for being late, but now he was acting all nice to her. She followed him to the other side of his room, which actually led outside to a small courtyard.

"Outside he set the statue in the center of this circle. He placed me on one side and himself on the other. He then put his hands together in a formation then started muttering the words to a spell. Suddenly symbols of light appear on the ground under the statuette, and the further he got into the spell the stronger the wind circled around us. The symbols then created a column of light around the statuette, and once it faded an air elemental, almost the height of my master, was standing in place of the statuette.

Julia stared in awe at the elemental; she'd never seen one in person before. The creature then turned its empty face towards her master.

"You've summoned me Master—"

"Kaz" he interrupted with a smile.

"Of course," the elemental bowed her head almost as if she caught a hint from him, "What is it you need of me?"

Once Julia got her head around the situation she couldn't just sit and let her master to be the only one to talk to such a magnificent creature. "Wait, where did you come from?"

The elemental turn her gaze in Julia direction then, noticing that it was a child speaking to her, she looked down to face her. "So is this your apprentice Master Kaz?"

"I'm one of his apprentices, Ms.… ahh—"

"Airamyth, Julia, she will be your new elemental guardian—"

"Were you inside that statue?!"

The elemental laughed at Julia's excitement and bent down to give her a hand shake, "Yes dear, sorry about the tough challenge, I just wanted to make sure Master Kaz picked a… formidable apprentice."

"So you're the one who controlled the owl?"

"Yes she was Julia, and she will be watching over you from now on." Airamyth then turned to Master Kaz and said something to him in a language Julia could only believe to be Elementium, the language of the elements. Julia then watched as Airamyth turned back into her basic form and reentered the statuette. Master Kaz then picked up the statuette and handed it to Julia, "once you learn how to summon her once, calling her back again will become progressively easier."

Julia took the statuette and held it tightly, "Why didn't you just tell the others that I was getting this. Then they would have known where I went and they wouldn't have thought that I was being disrespectful to you."

"Because, what they think shouldn't matter to you. We both knew that you hadn't disrespected me so it shouldn't have mattered what the other apprentices thought." He patted her on the head, and put his hand to her back to lead her back into the house. "I need you to make sure not to tell any of the others about Airamyth, do you understand? Once you've learned how to summon her on your own, come and tell me alright?"

Julia held the statuette tighter, her master gave her this elemental as a gift, something that no one else was going to have, it wasn't a punishment, it was a reward if some kind. "Yes, Master Kaz," she said as she started to smile.

"He then unlocked the door for me and I walked back to my room. Once in my room I set the statuette in the middle of the floor and started with my many attempts at trying to summon Airamyth. I knew that I should not have cared about what the others thought of me, but I was still lonely, not being able to talk to anyone, except maybe Master Kaz. At least, if I could summon Airamyth, I would have someone else to talk to. So I stayed up all night, trying to summon Airamyth, but the farthest I got, before I fell asleep, was only three of the four markings required on the ground to summon her.

"Good morning Master Kaz!"

"Morning Master Kaz."

"Good morning everyone," said Master Kaz as he walked through the halls of his home seeing all his apprentices getting ready for the day. There only one that he didn't see.

Master Kaz walked to his apprentice's dwellings and found Julia's room. Upon entering he found Julia on the floor in a deep sleep. Along with her spell book open to the summoning chapter, ruin markings on the floor, and almost all her things in disorder, of which he could only believe to be due to the wind called upon to summon an air elemental. He knew that she had worked very hard the night before, trying to be able to learn how to summon Airamyth. So he levitated her body, placed a pillow under her head and covered her with a blanket.

"Class starts in forty minutes Julia," he whispered as he closed the door and left the room.

"When I woke up, I did not know what time it was. I rushed to get ready for practice ending up only to be late, again."

"Hmmm…"

"So that's how you met Airamyth."

"How did you find Luna?"

"I found her during one of my travels, but that story is for later."

"So what else did you learn there?"

"Well, we learned about our history, the math, sciences, and of course our language. And I guess something you guys would be interested in is that we learn about the other races."

"Really?"

"Yes. We learned that Dwarves were big headed warriors, but they were loyal… when they wanted to be. Halflings where loyal thieves—"

"How can you have a loyal thief?"

"What's a Halfling?"

"Halflings were like miniature elves, they were much quicker than us but, to our knowledge, they sort of always got into trouble. And whenever you met one, it would either be because he stole something from you, or you were signing a contract with him… Ha I think that was how I met Tomi."

"Who's Tomi?"

"He was one of my companions from Neverwinter. We also learned that Orcs were descendants of elves when they turned barbaric. That Gnomes were geniuses but not to wise… Boddyknock Glinckle, and that Humans were an inconvenience, in a way that I think some of the humans see elves here."

"Inconvenience?"

"You heard her."

"Why were humans seen as an inconvenience?"

"Well, for one, from what our historians have found, humans are the youngest race on this world. So they are considered to be inexperienced creatures."

"Hmmm… And the idea of humans being children came from?..."

"It comes from the thought that humans, at one point, use to live for at least one hundred years, and now, after destroying themselves, their life cycle has been shortened. We do not believe that humans live long enough to learn enough about the world to be considered adults. They are 'kid's then grow up to be toddlers, and then grow back into kids again'. And that idea is from how once humans reach a certain age they believe they know everything, then after they reach another age, they believe they are one of the wisest people on the planet. Humans also fight for what they do not have and see that someone else has, like children."

"Ouch…"

"The idea was that humans were put on this world to teach, at least the elves, about patience. But the humans in Thedas are a million times more insufferable than the ones on Fearun."

"So do you not like humans?"

"Not necessarily… One of my closest friends in my travels was human… Lily Snyden, a very powerful monk hmmm… but she was not arrogant."

"Humph…"

"So what else happened in Syl'viran while you were there?"

"Well we got to attend festivals, performances, and when I was fifteen it was the first and last time that I saw Si'Tyli."

"And that is?"

"Si'Tyli translates in your language into, The Move. Si'Tyli is when the whole city of Syl'viran is in lockdown, and a purplish aura surrounds the city and its guardians. Everyone can still move around, but no one is allowed through the gates. Once the aura fully covers the city there is a slight shaking from the ground every so many minutes. After a couple of hours the aura dissipates from our city, and once everything is calm, the city has arrived in a completely different location on the Toril continent."

"Wow."

"How does that even work?"

"I do not know, the elders are the only ones that know how to orchestrate the Si'Tyli. It happens every so many years so that our city can stay a secret from humans and the other races. But the forest that we landed at… turned out not to be safe. Over the three years that passed, with us living there, I heard my master talking to some of the elders about some kind of disease or plague. At first it was only affecting the human city, but it only took a little past a year for it to start taking its toll on my people. I heard the elders and Master Kaz arguing about sending some of our people to the human city to find a cure, but the elders said that it would be too dangerous and that soon we would be able to leave, and the disease should plague us no longer. For some reason Master Kaz did not believe that would happen, as if he knew the severity of the plague. I was not going to let a human disease plague my kind because the elders were too scared to send someone to stop it."

"So you left?..."

"Yes… by now, I noticed that I was a little more advanced than my other associates, so I thought that maybe I would have a chance at fixing this. I packed that night so that I would be prepared to be up before anyone else, so that I could leave unnoticed. I took everything I had, my historical books, spell books, the items Master Kaz gave me over the years, everything. And the next morning before the sun rose, I left to the Three Gates of Syl'viran. But, before I asked the guardians to open the gates I… hesitated.

Julia stood before the doors and started to think. Was she really going to leave her home to help stop this disease? What if she was wrong and there wasn't a cure and the only way to stop the plague was to move away from it? What if the task was too difficult? What if… she would never able to return home? Still staring at the massive doors Julia's courage fell from her heart, then suddenly she heard a few footsteps. At first she thought it was just the guards but then she heard a voice.

"Julia."

The elf turned to see her master walking towards her.

"I have to do this Master Kaz; I'm not going to let this disease kill off our people." Julia looked to her master with determination in her eyes. But as she glared, all her master did was bow his head and smile.

"I did not come here to stop you Julia, I came to see you off and say good bye."

Surprised by her master's response she stepped back a bit, "What?"

"You have exceled in your training at a speed I would have never perceived. And I hope that you find success in your travels."

Immediately after Master Kaz finished his statement Julia ran to embrace him, "Thank you Master Kaz—"

"Kazrün, I'll tell your parents and the others of your leaving," he smiled as he look down at this young woman that would no longer be his student, "Take care Julia Nollen."

"Thank you so much for everything Master Kazrün!" Julia than spun around and ran to ask the guardians to allow her to depart from the city. And once the guardians opened the gates she turned to wave good bye to Master Kazrün, and left on her venture to find cure for the disease, starting in the nearest city…

"I left and followed my map to the closest human city called Neverwinter. But the decision to go there without knowing, not even a little bit of their common language was not the smartest part of my plan. But I entered into their academy and their leader, Airebeth, turned out to be a half-elf she taught me the common language of the city."

"So after all that you've done, did you ever go back to Syl'viran?"

"No… I was never able to find my city again. After solving the problem causing the plague, I headed back towards where the city used to be, outside of Neverwinter. But when I arrived… It was… gone. I searched for a while, but after so long, I accepted the fact that I was not going to ever find Syl'viran again."

"Aww… how s—"

"So what happened in Neverwinter?"

"Yeah how did you cure the plague?"

"Well… I guess I will tell you all that, but maybe another time."

Once the others were gone Julia opened her Bag of Holding, and took out the very first thing she obtained from her master. She examined the brass owl statuette as she rotated it in her hands. "Thank you Master Kazrün… I hope that… maybe someday." The room went silent. Julia returned the statuette back into her bag, then laid in her bed to rest.

"So… the Neverwinter city now."

"Did you meet Deekin there?"

"No, the city of Neverwinter was where I began my very first adventure, long before I met Deekin. It was written in his book because he asked me about it, and I told him what happened there."

"So what happened?"

"Well at first, even I did not know what was going on. When I walked into the city I only knew elven, where as everyone else knew this common language that I had never heard of. So the my first few hours after arriving in the city, consisted of me running into people and wondering around the city, seeing all these plagued bodies, looking for someone to help me. I had no clue as to what I was going to do to help stop this plague.

"Then I ran into a recruiter, the leader of the recruits brought together to help work out a way to be rid of the plague. Her name was Aribeth de Tylmarande."

"Another elf in the city?"

"No, she was a half elf, but she knew the language and was the only one who understood me when I said I wanted to help. She allowed me to come to the training academy, and she taught me the common language. In the academy I could see every race there coming together hoping to find a way to stop the plague. I even learned that there were other races that could use magic, but soon figured out that they could not use it the way my people did. You could either heal, cast offensive spells, or fight, they could not do all three. And the wizards and sorcerers wore such light robes; I did not understand how it gave them any defense. Never the less, I worked hard in the academy, learning how to heal and fight. The trainers did not believe that I could cast offensive spells with the armor I had, no matter how much I pleaded. They called me a Paladin, which I could only assume was the closest thing to a Cleric in the human cities.

"Slightly irritated by being titled something I was not, I asked Aribeth if she could persuade the casters to teach me offensive spells, I was not a Paladin and I did not want to be trained as one. But when I asked her, she told me that the offensive spell casting teachers were busy with all the sorcerers and wizards that came in and that there were very few healers in the academy.

"Julia, I know you're not a Paladin like me, I can feel it, but there are much more people who are able to cast offensive spells than healers right now. The trainers are far too busy to teach you a third ability, seeing as many believe that just knowing two is already too much on a normal person's body. Any way I was hoping that maybe you could major in healing, considering that we really don't have that many healers."

"I guess, that makes sense… You're a Paladin? I thought you were a Cleric like me."

"Haha, I have heard of Clerics, but I have rarely ever seen any. I know what you're capable of, but just hold back for a bit ok."

"Alright…" Julia then bowed before Airbeth and left to continue her training.

"After a few months of training, those who were ready, left the academy, but first we were assembled to a room to be congratulated for our success. But that was not what happened. That day, once all the graduating students were assembled, the academy was attacked.

"The attackers teleported into the assembly room, and there were some casualties, but Aribeth lived and I was able to leave, in an attempt to find any survivors in the academy… or the monsters so who attacked it. Aribeth told me to leave, but I had to look. She gave me a key to the exit, and with that I went through the doors out of the assembly room. I enter a hallway filled with death and decay; I could only imagine when the attack actually started. But before I could think of any of that I saw a man. A human from his build, he wore a hood to conceal his face, and I could tell by how he was hunched over that he was not too pleased to see me come out of that room first.

"You?! I was waiting for Airbeth…"

"Immediately when I heard him say that I charged at him. I believed that he must have been the orchestrator of this horrible bloodshed. But even with my first swing he simply dodged my attack like it was nothing, and disappeared, leaving his lackey goblins behind. After killing them off, instead of leaving, I searched the academy, looking for any survivors or equipment that might become useful, and killing off any enemies that I could find. There were no survivors on the first floor, so I used Aribeth's key to head out of the academy, and as I left I came across the same man again, but before I could even reach him this time he disappeared and left more of his minions to fight for him, but I moved forward. After helping someone else escape, and killing more minions, I came across the man again, but this time he was willing to fight me. And as difficult as he was, I defeated him, but this only angered me."

"Why? You got the guy who attacked and killed everyone in the academy,"

"That was not the point! The point was that at first I thought he was the one who organized everything, but if that were true, he would not have been killed so easily, or even have had the thought to fight me.

"I walked past his body to the exit, and once through the door, I saw Fenthick, and Desther, fighting off other goblins, but they were not alone. The three creatures that was said to be captured to help create a cure for the plague were released by the goblins, leaving us with no lead as to where to find them…

"After the goblins were defeated, and Desther blamed me for the escaped of the creatures, we all headed for the temple of Tyr. It was here that I was to be briefed on how I could help find the creatures there were found to save Neverwinter."

"Well that's stupid."

"Why were you blamed? You didn't even do it."

"Sounds like another situation that I remember."

"Shut up."

"Relax you two."

"Yes, please. You see I was blamed because instead of stopping the creatures from escaping, I tried to help Desther and Fenthick, since I saw that they were sort of in trouble. But never the less, after that incident my fight to save Neverwinter began."

Julia started to stand and summon her two elementals, as if she was ready to leave.

"Wait your leaving?"

"But the story was just getting good!"

Julia giggled a bit, "well, Tifea has my book, I'm sure you can hear the rest from her. Besides I'm sure you all have something more important that you should be doing."

"Oh yeah… We do."
