Eris woke to find herself looking down at the Caldera Sea; it was the same sea that she was sitting next to when she was crying what seemed to be only moments ago. she cringed as her memory of why she was crying came into sharp view causing a tear to fall from her eye. She momentarily forgot why she was crying as she watched the tear fall. It kept falling until she lost sight of it. She then realized just where she was and how high that place was. She began to panic when she realized she had not noticed what was holding her up. She was flying on a cloud. Everything she had learned in school suggested that clouds were nothing more than air vapor obviously not able to hold more than a rain drop let alone a whole human. She got lost in her train of thought and thought herself back to sleep. When she woke up again she was descending at a rather fast pace toward the land of Daricend.

Eris arrived and took only a moment to gaze at the beautiful city; she realized that she had a job to do. Just then a young girl not much older than herself came up and asked what she was looking for. The girl spoke with such a soft shy voice she wasn't sure she had heard her right. She was so pretty and innocent looking.

Eris answered, "I am looking for The Astm Lanir, do you know it?"

"Yes, yes I know it well, my name is Sapphire, I can take you to The Astm Lanir if you like." She said.

"Thank you very much. I am Eris, I don't live here, and I'm just meeting someone. The funniest thing happened to me earlier, I was um... reading by the shore when I was called by a little stwirg, he sent me here and I am to go on some extravagant mission of sorts! Isn't that odd? I'm sorry to be rambling on, it's just that I must tell someone, and you are being such a help."

"No really, all this fascinates me, you must go on. Who are you meeting? What sort of mission? How did a stwirg call you? How did you get here? Where did you come from? I think it would be absolutely wonderful to go on an adventure! Oh, here we are The Astm Lanir, would you like me to come in with you? There's usually a rough crowd in there."

"Well Knosso practically came out and said I was to do all of this by myself but I really would like to have someone with me. Yes please come in but I think I have to talk with someone alone, you understand, its all official but I will tell you everything after I get further instructions. Thank you for showing me here."

"No problem, I think this is all wondrous, so exciting!"

They entered The Astm Lanir it was so luxurious, and fancy Sapphire immediately went and sat down at what appeared to be a bar and Eris looked around and noticed the cloaked man she went over and sat down as nonchalantly as she could. He greeted by saying," that's what you consider nonchalantly?"
