It was a day like any other day, cold and unwelcoming, when I would receive the news. Z had fallen in battle to a giantkin. In all of my adventures throughout Amerielle, I have never felt this lost. I have travelled through the thick forests near Moongarten and could never have felt this lost. Z had saved me from becoming another sacrifice to the Frostmaiden. They were the one who introduced me to Ilidan, who in turn took me in and trained me to be better at surviving on my own. Z had been like a brother to me.
Ilidan took me and snapped me out of my trance. "You have to continue his mission." He told me. "Find the survivors of his party and help them to continue to survive as Z helped you not so many days ago. Rest tonight and be off in the morning."
That night, I was visited by the Mysterious figure again. "Shadow, you must retrieve the gift that was given to your brother Z. You must care for it until the time comes for its true nature to manifest. Find Adriel the wizard, Vegathal the druid, and Mishaan the pact holder in Good Mead. Continue Z's mission. I know you can do this, my devout ranger." When you said this I knew at once, it was Bahamut speaking to me. In my dream I knelt down and proclaimed, "Anything for my Lord. I will not fail you."
I left the next morning, with renewed vigor, heading for Good Mead. I was no longer lost and had found my new mission in life. I will help save this land, and continue Z's mission to save everyone and everything. All in the glory of the Platinum Dragon.
