You gather your belongings from the inn and with scarcely a word to Mont, settle your tabs, saddle your hippogriffs and launch. On your way east past the wall, a patrol tries to intercept you but the sudden appearance of an adult brass dragon captures their attention sufficiently to allow you to flee the city.
Half an hour later, a shadow above you tells of you accompanying companion, the dragon Mordenth. He paces you for a time, high above you beyond the drifting clouds, higher than your hippogriffs can fly. In the late afternoon, he flies faster and outpaces you.
When you arrive at the island you camped on previously, you find the elf da'Norto Illianstar preparing a meal on a campfire - salt crusted seafish served on a bed of lightly spicy noodles and a selection of crisp winter vegetables. He serves you on brass plates with brass cutlery. To accompany, a heady mead-like wine is served in brass goblets.
He continues in the common tongue, "I do not enter that land anywhere near Allaya's Cove, for it is protected by the one you have met, and we dragons guard our territory fiercely. But we must go there now, and hope she looks charitably upon us.
I know you have more questions, but answer some of mine. Tell me the story of this empress, of Pananthys, and how you all came to be involved in such lofty affairs."

"I- I never new where I came from. The druids never told me, and frankly, I didn't care. Not even when I showed magic. That just felt... natural. I never thought about how I was different, I simply was. It was easy to understand. But then I was able to speak a language that I had never learned, and I didn't know how. For the first time, I wondered where I came from. Tell me how I came to that wood. Why was I left among the druids?"

"I did not leave you, my child. The fate of your mother is one that I am keen on uncovering. It seems you do not know. I met your mother in the City of Ultono, far to the south across this sea. We were companions for a time, and traveled extensively around the inland sea. Fate does not look kindly on those of my kind who spend too much time with mortals, and so after a wonderful summer, and at her request, I left her in Great Delta . That she was with child, I did not know. How you ended up in the wood near Allaya's Cove, I cannot speculate."
