"As with any collector, I did not want to part with any of my collection." The elder explained with a smile. "I figured it would be alright, you had the Magi King with you after all. Besides, had I not done that, the series of events that happened that led you here right now, wouldn't have happened. You should be thanking me, now there is a chance to save the world."
Elle sighed. "You're hopeless, you know that right?" She said, "Where can Dax and the others stay, we are stuck until the train recharges."
"Right of course." The elder said. He walked over to the door and opened it. "Uriel, please inform the people of the village that these humans are our honored guests. Make sure that no one is rude to them and ensure that they have rooms at the inn. I leave it in your capable hands."
"Who are you? And what did you do with our elder?" Uriel asked.
