Start of The Quest

Adrien and Billy are undergoing their training in Magic control alongside Saeldir and his apprentices. They obey whatever Saeldir says, knowing that Saeldir clearly knows more than them about Magic control.

The location is in the middle of a large yard. The yard is filled with tall trees and lush, short grass that looks like an endless expanse of carpet. It feels comfortable for them to just sit there.

Erend bets that this place must also be comfortable for lying down and enjoying the sunlight and breeze.

Erend doesn't participate in their training. Why would he? When his power is far beyond theirs. Even beyond the understanding of the Elves. As he watches their training from a chair under the palace canopy, Gulben approaches him.

Erend glances briefly, but doesn't feel the need to stand or bow. He is not one of his subjects after all.
