Without a word you bow respectfully to the elders and exited the royal meeting hall. The Archwizard then addressed one of the high servants. "Galgion, take her to Sapphire. Iris, you travel on dragon back to the city of Krix. There will you be given something to aid you in your quest."
Iris was about to ask what it could be that was so important then held her tongue. Galgion the high servant led her to a high and broad tower top. You are over whelmed by the sight before you.
"Haven't you ever seen a dragon before?"said Galgion.
"Yes, but never close. She's so beautiful and majestic, " you say.
"Thanks Iris. You're an exceptional young human yourself." The voice that spoke was a like the sound of a lovely horn. It was gentle but it still had the presence of power.
"Thank you. I was told that you were to take me to Krix to obtain an object, "you say.
"The talisman we seek is called the Heart of Nethaal. It is a jewel that was forged through magic by the best human and dragon magic users of the time a thousand years ago. Nethaal was the name of the dragon and the human was Grifith. It is said that Nethaal drained all of his magic into an old emerald, " said Sapphire.
"How will we find it? Krix is so vast," you say.
"What we seek are looking for is not in Krix. We are merely being sent to get information concerning its' whereabouts."
"Who are we looking for?" you ask.
"A monk named Nephelius. He is the oldest dragon partner in the known land. He is quite lonely and bitter because his dragon was slain by Draven before he was sealed away by the last chosen one, "said Sapphire
"That was three hundred years ago. How could he still be alive?" you say.
"Nethaal and Grifith took magic to it's boundaries. They created a spell to give them long life for a thousand years. They might have just been the greatest there was. That's why we are seeing him. His knowledge of magic and time given wisdom is uncanny, " Sapphire said. "Enough talk. I would first start with learning to channel magic, but finding Grifith is of more importance."
Sapphire let down her left wing so you could climb on her back. Somehow you are totally trusting of the creature and you comfortably mount your dragon partner. You burst into the air at full speed as your blond hair is blown back. Then as you continue to soar in the sky you notice a large village on fire. In the flame and smoke you are able to make out a great multitude of men on horseback coming down to the valley where the village is.
"We have to help them!" you cry.
"There are thousands of them. I can't kill them all. We have to keep going, " Sapphire says.
