Ambassador Miton stood and stared at the ceiling for several minutes, her brow furrowed in apparent thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cIf you\u2019re going to stop the Natas\u2014\u201d Ambassador Miton turned and faced them. \u201c\u2014you must go south to the country of Caradan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWait, us?\u201d Onin glanced at Kasai. \u201cI don\u2019t think just the five of us will be enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Kasai stared back at him with wide eyes. Onin took her hand and squeezed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWe have an ally in Caradan who can assist you. Go there, and ask to speak to the Wizard,\u201d Ambassador Miton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWhat? Wizard?\u201d Cerina snorted. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be kidding!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cOoo! Like the <em>William the Wizard<\/em> books?\u201d Tannin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWhat?\u201d Cerina turned to stare at him. \u201cAre you four? There\u2019s no such things as wizards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWhy not!\u201d Tannin leaned in closer to her. \u201cApparently, there\u2019s dragons, and we thought they were myth until recently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cUm, \u2018wiz\u2019 means \u2018follower of\u2019 in the language of the monks,\u201d Kasai looked at the floor and played with her hair. \u201cI think that\u2019s what the Ambassador means.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin looked down at Kasai. Were those tears in the corner of her eyes? No wonder, what with discovering that she was half-dragon, then finding out that the Natas were apparently in league with the dragons. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and she leaned into him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYes, that is what he calls himself. He is a friend. Go to Caradan, and he will meet you there.\u201d Ambassador Miton bowed. \u201cIf you\u2019ll excuse me, I need to check on Zia. Please hurry, time is of the essence. The Natas cannot be allowed to complete the gate!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<aside id=\"custom_html-2\" class=\"widget_text widget widget_custom_html amr_widget\"><h2 class=\"widget-title\">Advertisment &#8211; Help keep Etherno free<\/h2><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-6329442091957906\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"2637632844\";\n    google_ad_width = 728;\n    google_ad_height = 90;\n<\/script>\n<!-- 728x90, created 3\/31\/09 -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/div><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"75\" height=\"50\" src=\"https:\/\/etherno.aarondemott.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dragon.png\" alt=\"dragon\" class=\"wp-image-41\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin grunted when something nudged him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWake up, we\u2019re almost there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin blinked. Kasai\u2019s beautiful green eyes stared into his. That\u2019s right, last night they\u2019d departed for Caradan from the monorail station that was close to the Matari compound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin smiled. \u201cOh, hi Kasai. Are we there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYup, we\u2019re just pulling into the station.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin stood and yawned as he stretched. He grabbed his bag from the overhead bin and looked over at Tannin, who was still draped over the bench and snoring away. Onin sighed and grabbed Tannin\u2019s bag as well. He pulled Tannin to his feet and shuffled out of the monorail car behind Kasai, Cerina, and Saija. Onin blinked in the bright sunlight. There were only a handful of people here at this time of the morning, most likely business people from their crisp, ironed suites and other attire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin led the way through customs and down the stairs from the monorail platform. Fortunately, relations between Rogim and Caradan were good enough that their student ID cards were all they needed. The stairs exited to a broad road, lined with shops. Every shop seemed to sell miniature monorail cars, clothing, and every useless trinket you could think of. All of them plastered with either the city or monorail logo. The place screamed tourist trap. And apparently the monorail station was the only thing of interest here. Either that, or a lot of people who lived near the station had no imagination whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWell, where to, fearless leader?\u201d Cerina asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d Onin looked down the street. The buildings were all in the polished, imitation-marble style that Caradan seemed to prefer. \u201cI don\u2019t see anything that really says \u2018wizard\u2019. Perhaps we should check with the local police?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cOh, there\u2019s a good idea.\u201d Cerina snorted. \u201cWaltz right in and say \u2018Oh, hi, I\u2019m from a foreign country, here to arrest your citizens, but don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s for your own good.\u2019 Yeah, that\u2019ll work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cUh, guys\u2026\u201d Tannin tugged on Onin\u2019s sleeve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYeah?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cUm, you might want to turn around,\u201d Tannin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin turned around. A girl about his age stood a few dozen yards away. Her hair was the color of honey, and her ears were atop her head, pointed, and fur-covered. She wore a sleeveless white dress that flowed down to ankle-length. A pendant shaped in the form of an odd symbol hung from a silver chain around her neck and nestled between her breasts. She held a shakujo that was just a bit taller than she was in her right hand. The staff was made from a dark metal and was topped by the same symbol as her pendant. The outer ring and the six smaller rings were made of some whitish-silver metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">The girl looked like she\u2019d just stepped out of some ancient painting\u2014or would have, were it not for the modern pocketed utility belt cinched around her waist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">She walked toward them. Oddly, the rings on the staff didn\u2019t jingle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cHello.\u201d She stopped a few feet in front of them and nodded to each of them in turn. \u201cOnin, Kasai, Tannin, Cerina, Saija. I am the herald of the Wizard. My master has sent me to assist you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cUm, how do you know our names?\u201d Cerina asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cThe Wizard knows all.\u201d The herald bowed to them. The rings on her staff jingled. She glanced at it, flicked an ear, and bowed again. \u201cMy apologies. Only Ard knows all. The Wizard, as his servant, is also quite knowledgeable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">She glanced up at her staff, which remained silent. She smiled and turned back to them. Onin raised an eyebrow. This was one strange girl. And what was the deal with the staff?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cSo, do you have a name?\u201d Onin asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cMy name is insignifi\u2014\u201d The rings on top of the staff clinked. She glanced up at the staff, frowned, then sighed. \u201cVery well. My name is Amaryllis. Please follow me. We have much to discuss and prepare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cUm, a moment please?\u201d Onin turned and beckoned to the others. They huddled in close. \u201cCan we trust her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI don\u2019t know about all this \u2018master\u2019 talk.\u201d Saija shivered. \u201cBrings back some bad memories.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cHer staff has the symbol of Ard,\u201d Kasai said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cArd has his own symbol now?\u201d Cerina asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWell, the symbol in the staff is the first letter for \u2018Ard\u2019 in the language of the monks.\u201d Kasai shuffled closer to Onin. \u201cIf she carries that around, she can\u2019t be all bad, can she?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin turned to face Amaryllis. \u201cExcuse me. Does your master have a name, or just a title?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cMy Master\u2014\u201d The staff clinked again. She cocked her head to the side and stared at it, then her ears and shoulders drooped. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s proper, but\u2026 His name is Ryogin\u2014\u201d She narrowed her eyes and glared at the staff. \u201c\u2014sama.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Apparently, satisfied at the lack of reaction from the staff, she smiled and turned back to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cIs it just me\u2014\u201d Tannin covered his mouth with his hand and leaned closer to Onin. \u201c\u2014or is this girl a few grapes shy of a fruit basket?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cHah!\u201d Cerina snorted and turned up her nose. \u201cThat\u2019s rich, coming from you, of all people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Amaryllis took a step forward. \u201cWe can discuss this further in more comfortable surroundings, if you\u2019d like. Ryogin-sama has rented a room for our use, and I\u2019ve prepared some snacks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cSnacks?\u201d Tannin stood up straight. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you say so earlier?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Cerina and Saija shared a look, and simultaneously smacked Tannin upside the back of his head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cOw! What was that for? It\u2019s breakfast time, right?\u201d Tannin rubbed his neck. \u201cAnd I don\u2019t think the Natas would trick us with snacks. Doesn\u2019t seem like their style.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cHmm. He does have a point.\u201d Saija tapped her finger to her lips. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t seem a very Natas thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cOkay, we\u2019ll come with you to hear you out, for now,\u201d Onin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cExcellent! This way, please.\u201d Amaryllis turned around the led the way down the street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">They turned down a cobblestone side street lined with two-story brick houses. Each house had a small shop in front. There were food stalls, trinket shops, tool vendors, clothing stalls, and just about anything else one could possibly want. The house at the end of the street was a two-story structure with the same imitation marble walls and roof that most of the houses in the city had. This one also had several small umbrella-covered tables out front. People enjoying their morning tea and rolls were clustered around each table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Amaryllis led them to a side door of this house and up a narrow flight of stairs. She stopped at the top of the stairs and gestured that they should enter the first door on the left. Onin stepped into the room and looked around. The walls were painted a pastel green, white drapes hung from the window on the far wall. Six pastel green chairs with a pink floral print were arranged in semi-circle in the center of the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cOoo! Food!\u201d Tannin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin turned around. A small white table loaded with pastries, meat, and something that looked like eggs in a muffin wrapper, as well as two pitchers and some glasses was against the wall next to the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cPlease, enjoy.\u201d Amaryllis made a sweeping motion toward the table. \u201cThe pastries and the fruit juice are from the hostel, but I made the egg bites and the tea myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Tannin shoved an entire egg bite in his mouth and made a noise that sounded like it was supposed to mean \u2018delicious.\u2019 Onin waited for the girls to get some food, then he grabbed a few pastries and some egg bites and sat in the chair next to Kasai. Amaryllis took the seat on the other side of Kasai. She let go of her staff, which remained standing, apparently of its own power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Tannin nudged Onin with his elbow and pointed to the staff. Onin glared at him and shook his head. The floating staff wasn\u2019t the most important thing at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI do wish we had more time to get to know each other first. However, we don\u2019t have much time, so I\u2019ll get right to the mission.\u201d Amaryllis leaned forward. \u201cThere\u2019s a Natas slave camp just south of the city. I need your help to free the slaves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWait a minute.\u201d Cerina paused with a pastry halfway to her mouth. \u201cWe need to destroy some gate thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cThat too, is a priority.\u201d Amaryllis folded her hands in her lap. \u201cHowever, the gate isn\u2019t finished being built yet, and we need to free those poor people before the Natas can\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201c\u2014turn them into reinforcements,\u201d Saija finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">The room fell deathly silent for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cNo one wants that.\u201d Kasai said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cAgreed.\u201d Onin stood up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cNow, hold on.\u201d Tannin grabbed Onin\u2019s arm and yanked him back down. \u201cYeah, the last thing we want is more Natas running around, but does anyone have anything even resembling a plan?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cI hate to agree with the moron.\u201d Cerina gave Tannin a sidelong glance. \u201cBut he\u2019s right. The last time we ran into a Natas making party, we not only didn\u2019t save the girl, we barely escaped.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cGood point.\u201d Saija bit her lip and poked at her pastry. \u201cWhen we rescued the Matari, we had a plan, and that worked rather well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Everyone turned to look at Amaryllis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cThe slave camp is located about forty miles south of the city, about forty-eight miles total, from here.\u201d Amaryllis pointed out the window. \u201cWith the gate construction being the priority, the camp should be lightly guarded. Ryogin-sama\u2019s plan is for us to fly out of the city, land outside the camp, and sneak in. If we leave soon, we can observe the camp and further develop a strategy. Ideally, we can find a way to sneak everyone out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cOne question.\u201d Cerina leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs. \u201cWhy doesn\u2019t this Ro-jin guy come and help?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cRyogin.\u201d Amaryllis\u2019 eyes narrowed. \u201cAnd he doesn\u2019t have to answer to the likes of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">One of the rings on her staff clinked. Amaryllis\u2019 left ear twitched. \u201cSorry. Ryogin-sama is busy making other preparations. He also wishes to let you know that he\u2019d like to physically assist, but his gifts aren\u2019t suited to combat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">The two girls glared at each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cWell, uh, let\u2019s go rescue those people from the real enemy.\u201d Onin looked back and forth between Cerina and Amaryllis. \u201cYou know, the Natas?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cAgreed.\u201d Amaryllis stood, grabbed her staff, and led them out the door and down to the street. \u201cDo you have transportation?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cYup.\u201d Onin generated servitors for himself, Tannin, Cerina, and Saija. \u201cKasai can manage on her own. Do you need a lift?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cNo, thank you.\u201d Amaryllis rotated her staff to hold it parallel to the ground at about waist height and hopped up to sit on it, side-saddle style. \u201cFollow me, please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Onin\u2019s jaw dropped open as Amaryllis rose up into the sky on her staff. He turned to Tannin. \u201cDid you see that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">\u201cShrooms?\u201d Tannin asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"bookws\">Cerina smacked her forehead with her palm and muttered something that Onin didn\u2019t quite catch.
