Chapter One: The Inn of The Last Home, News?
Flint Fireforge heard some unexpected news in the Inn of The Last Home.
Solace was being overrun by goblins and orcs.
Darken Wood's name was changed. It was called the "Drake Wood."
The Tower of High Sorcery was filled with red mages of Lunitari and black mages of Nuitari. The white mages of Solinari were nowhere to be found.
Dragon Highlords have taken over most of Krynn.
All of this made Flint feel furious. Solace was supposed to be a peaceful area, but it was overrun by Goblins. Why has the name of Darken Wood changed? Where were the white mages? Why are there many Dragon Highlords roaming around? All these thoughts drove Flint crazy.
Tanis Half-Elven, one of Flint's oldest friends, just bought two mugs of ale from Otik, the innkeeper and his adopted daughter, Tika. The two friends were talking about the gathering that was supposed to happen.
"So, Tanis, did you know that Solace was being overrun by goblins?" Flint asked.
"I didn't. But I expected-"
Just then, Tasslehoff Burrfoot, the kender, took them by surprise.
"Bet you are not pleased to see me, guys?" Tas asked somberly.
"Tas, what happened to your bride that you were supposed to marry?" Tanis asked.
"We parted ways. I never wanted her anyway..."
"I knew it! That brain rattled kender! Never let his wife come and dine with us! Why is that, Tas?" Flint asked.
"Because of a horse...yeah, a horse!" Tas said.
"What does a horse have to do with it, kender?" Flint asked.
"A horse drove the bride away. By the way, where is everybody else?" Tas asked.
"Not here yet. Well, kender-"
Just then, Kitiara Uth Matar sneaked behind Tanis and tapped on him. Tanis was shocked, by happy all the same.
"Kit! Where were you? Where is Caramon? And the mage?" Tanis asked.
"They are beyond repair." Kit said in bitter sobs.
"Tell us what happened!" Tas said.
"You see, a few days ago, Caramon decided to fight against a war troll, but it defeated him, causing his brain cells to pop out. And Raistlin just left his twin in the dark, never even taking one glance at his fallen twin." Kitiara said.
Everyone tried to digest the news. How could Raistlin left his twin brother to die? Everyone knew that mages are not to be trusted.
"So, what should we do when we find the others?" Tanis asked.
It was a very bad day for the Heroes of The Lance.
Like it? Hate it?
Next chapter: Goldmoon and Riverwind reunited with the Heroes of The Lance, at least with some of them.
