A/N: I do not own any of the characters or places the dragonlance authors
do. This is sort of a re-make of the dragonlance story with new monsters,
villains, and heroes anyway on with the story
Chapter 1: Reunion
The old dwarf had been walking for a while.
"Never should have gone away. Don't know why I did."
Years of being alone had made given the dwarf an odd habit of talking to himself. He pulled out a piece of wood and a knife. While he was carving the wood he heard a rustling in the bushes, without thinking the dwarf put his hand on the haft of his battle-axe.
"Tanis," The dwarf said, "Is that you?"
"Yes, old friend it's me!"
The dwarf walked forwards towards his friend. Tanis and the dwarf hugged and then Tanis let go of the struggling dwarf.
"I hope no one saw us," said the dwarf.
"You always had lots of pride, Flint," Tanis laughed.
Tanis was half-elf and half-human, who belonged to both races and to neither. He had shoulder-length red-brown hair and had the grace of elves but the approximate girth of a human. Tanis had a long sword at his waist and a bow across his back. Flint was a middle-aged dwarf with a salt-and- pepper beard, and he was about four feet tall. There was a battle-axe strapped across his back and a couple of daggers hooked on his belt. The two friends looked down on Solace (their hometown) and headed forward. They had not gone far when they heard a very shrill whistling sound. "What is that?" asked Flint. "I don't know, but it sounds sort of familiar, like the adventures we had in Solace before," Tanis replied.
Tanis looked into the bushes to try to find the source of the whistling sound while Flint un-hooked his axe. All of a sudden a fat hobgoblin riding a horse followed by some ogres and goblins on foot.
"I am fewmaster toad," said the hobgoblin, "and you are under temporary arrest so we can search for the blue crystal staff. If you don't come peacefully." He gestured towards the goblins and ogres, "They will take you by force."
With that said the fewmaster left down the road to Solace. The goblins and ogres quickly formed in to a loose formation after Flint and Tanis drew their weapons. All of a sudden a barrage of darts flew at the fewmaster's soldiers from behind the bushes. Flint and Tanis were amazed as some of the goblins fled. Only the ogres remained there because the darts didn't penetrate their armor. Out of the bushes sprang two figures, one was a kender and the other was a centaur. The kinder was carrying an odd- looking staff that had a prong at one end with a band going across the V part of the staff. The other end of it had an iron spike fixed on it. The centaur carried a double-ended trident and short sword. While the ogres turned to look at the new comers, Flint rushed at one swinging his axe, and lopped of its head. The centaur galloped forward and impaled the second ogre with his trident. By this point Tanis had un-strapped his long bow and had shot two ogres. The last one turned and ran after the goblins.
"Hi, Flint it's me Tasslehoff...!" said the kender.
Tasslehoff was about 4 feet tall (which was tall for a kender). Like all kender he couldn't feel fear and was somewhat childish. He had arranged his brown hair in a topknot.
"...And it's great to see you too Tanis! You know after we had split up five years ago I had begun to miss you. Anyway this is my good friend Halgion the centaur." Tasslehoff concluded.
"Well he's Flint," Tanis gestured at Flint, "and I'm Tanis."
"Hello, both of you, Tasslehoff has told me that he was on his way to Solace," Halgion said.
As they walked down the road they discussed on why the fewmaster would search every traveler for a staff. This was the first time Tanis could inspect Halagion. He was a horse from the waist down and a human from the waist up. The horse fur on him was a very dark brown color and the same with the hair on his head.
"It'll be good to see Caramon again, and I guess we'll, have to tolerate Raistlin." Flint said.
Raistlin and Caramon were some of their friends from Solace, who were also twins. They looked nothing alike, Caramon was a big and strong person, but Raistlin was thin and cynical. Also Caramon was a warrior and Raistlin was a mage. Tasslehoff said,"I think Raistlin is neat, even if he doesn't show me a lot of magic." The four adventures didn't encounter any more distractions on their way to Solace.
A/N: What do you think of the first chapter and Halgion (the centaur)? Please please please R&R. In the next chapter there will be more excitement and variation.
