The journey through the forest proved uneventful as they travelled through the afternoon.

The animals must be exhausted, thought Ate. It's so damn hot!

"So," started Raziel, breaking the long silence. Everyone looked at him.

"Uh," said Smirk. "Hey, Ryooooogieeeeee!!!" He looked over at her as he lead the group. "Do you know where to start looking?"

"Not really," he replied. "But perhaps an old friend of mine would know something."

"Who's Lord Ponternal?" asked Raziel as he read the sign welcoming guests to the township of Lindon.

"He's the Duke of Lindon."

Min trailed behind everyone until he decided to quicken his pace to match Kechara's and Charjer's.

"Hey Min," said Charjer. "What do you have there in your hand?"

"It's about time someone noticed!!" he exclaimed. "It's a fiery rune. I found it."

"Where?" inquired Kechara.

"Somewhere in Hafnia. I'm not sure where," he replied. "I was below the buildings while I found it. When I came above ground, I was on the opposite side of the city."

"Wow," said Kechara and Charjer at the same time.

"We're here," said Cueball as they walked through the gates of Lindon.
