When Lyndsey woke, she found herself on a comfortable bed. Looking around, she noticed that this bed happened to be situated in a homey looking room. She swiveled her feet off the bed, and rose to look at a window. Outside, she saw something miracolous: a town!
"I thought I was in the middle of the desert," she muttered to herself, shifting a loose hair behind her ear.
"You were, and were probably going to be killed," a voice spoke. Startled, Lyndsey whirled around. Sitting in a chair by the door was a strong looking man. By the ax he carried on his back, he must've been a fighter of some sort. Lyndsey looked uneasily at the weapon. "Don't worry, it's only to be used against evil people, and you don't look particularly evil," the man said, rising to his feet. He extended a hand towards the pegasus rider. "I'm Krenald, a guardian of Nabata." Lyndsey looked at the hand as though it was going to crush her. "alright, be that way," the guardian responded, withdrawing his hand. "The council's busy with something else right now, so they haven't met to discuss you yet. Been a busy couple of days. So many outsiders in such a short time." Lyndsey's brow furrowed. More outsiders? Who could it be? She then remembered the dragon lifting off from the battle. She'd barely noticed it as she flew in a different direction, but it could've been...

Krenald noticed the young woman's facial change as he mentioned the new arrivals. "I suppose we might be able to escort you to the other outsiders," he mentioned, talking in an offhand manner. Lyndsey shook her head. "Would you like some food?" asked Krenald, waving his hand. It drew attention to a fruit basket, setting on the table next to the door. Lyndsey eagerly dove into the food, devouring it with little regard to manner. Krenald sat back, studying the young woman.

As Lyndsey finished eating, a woman entered the room. Loose white robes covered her body, and she looked like a kind, caring soul. "The council is ready to see this one," she said, waving to Lyndsey as she bowed to Krenald. Nodding, the guardian stood up. "Come along then," he stated, waving for Lyndsey to follow him. Taking a few more bites of fruit, Lyndsey followed.

As soon as they hit the streets, the rumors started flying. "The council's been disbanded!" "Lord Athos threatened to remove the sandstorm!" "One person is the elder of Arcadia now!" Krenald's brow furrowed in confusion. Lyndsey carefully hid her smirk. It looked like the council wasn't going to be doing anything to her anytime soon.

"I am not sure as to what is going on," explained Krenald, looking down at his charge. Lyndsey took another bite of the fruit she'd brought with her. "I believe it would be best if you would come with me to meet with my superior." "Lead on," replied Lyndsey, waving the hand that didn't hold the fruit. Nodding, Krenald headed through the crowd, weaving around the mass of people. Silently Lyndsey followed, her mind churning new ideas.

Krenald led Lyndsey into one of the houses. Inside, a slim blond woman was preparing food for a little girl sitting by a table. The girl looked up as Krenald entered, smiled, and gave him a shy wave. Krenald nodded towards the girl. "Where's Hawkeye?" he asked, looking at the woman. She turned to him, smiling. "He just left. There's been some incident at the council. Remember Dray'Gon? Well, he's come back, and he brought a magic user with him," explained the woman. The girl nodded in agreement. Lyndsey's eyebrow arched. The name seemed familiar. "Dray'Gon, eh? Figured he'd be back," Krenald muttered to himself. "Alright, so who do I take this girl to?" The woman looked at Lyndsey as though she just noticed her. "Athos would probably be a good choice, while things are still settling in." "Athos? Great, just who I don't want to talk to. Come along, girl." Once again, Lyndsey followed without saying anything.

When they hit the streets, more rumors flew. Lyndsey could only gather bits and pieces as they wove through the dust lanes, but apparently Athos had just transported a large group of people to his abode. Krenald frowned as he heard more and more, but didn't stop his journey to the Archmage's abode. Lyndsey simply hid her grin as she was led. Things were going to be interesting.
