I went home to the capital's alien age. My cousin Shiani said that something had happened that I wouldn't like but am the only one who can help. "What happened Shinn?" I said, using the nickname I gave him as kids.

"it's Luna, she was kidnapped by those tivinter basterds!" He said, almost breaking out in tears.

"then we have to get Luna back ". I grabbed my sword, dagger, and bow ready to take the fight to them. "So what did Luna do this time" she may be a drunk but I love her best that way.

" she didn't do anything this time. Some noble humans started calling her a wore and said she really should spend the night sometime ". Boy did that set my temper off like a gas can.

" Tell the elder I'm going after her!" I shouted.

"Are you insane?! They'll have you killed. That or start a war". I should have listened. But little did I know that he was right.

I had my bags packed still and so set off almost imideatly. I left in the cover of dark, sensing the strange creatures that followed me in interest. But unlike most I was not afraid. I knew there was never a reason to be. As I was going through Orlai I spotted a caravan being attacked by bandits. I rushed in to help. After I took care of the bandits a human came up to me "thank you mam. I understand my kind don't treat yours kindly but one day I hope to fix that"

" what is it your doing here boy. You may very well have yourself killed. "

he stood there andthought long and hard. " I am in your debt. Is there a way convince you to let me follow you?" He said.

" I highly doubt you would want to travel with me human. You don't like my kind as it is"

" but I owe you my life and my family's. There must be something that I can do to repay you"

" follow me if you wish human" I said and moved on.
