The high kings order. (And some background info work in progress)

On a mountaintop sits a humanoid shadow. Staring off into the distance. Thinking about past stuff. Mainly how in the finale battle with Argus Von Dealus (pronounced Douglas), a evil dragon, the person he loved died. How he couldn't save them. He thinks about this ever since that day. How he watched cowardly, when the dragon they slayed wasn't dead. How it blown there flames on her. How much he wished he could've warned her. But he was too scared. Too..he shakes his head at his thoughts. He turns his head back seeing a small Kobold walking to them. Hydro, is his name. A friend that was in the party with them.

Hydro says to him, "It wasn't your fault you know?"

He says back, "Yes it was. If I stabbed it thru the eye then it wouldn't come back alive. Instead I stabbed him in the chest. Not truly killing him."

Hydro, "Honestly, it's not your fault that she died."

"But I can't help but think it is."

After this was said hydro sits down next to Axle.

"You know your not alone. We all lost someone that day. I lost a great friend."

Axle frowns. "And I lost a lover. We were meant to get married after the fight."

Hydro, "I know." Is all he says before moving on to another topic.

"The town needs you. In fact we have orders from the high king. He wants you to gather a group and take the Vykria ship to a new dimensional rift."

"Bring the old team to the mayor's office. Then gather a healer. We may need one."

Hydro nods and stands up before walking away into a forest area behind the mountain.
