Bethin fell to his knees tears streaming down his face.
“Thank the sun…Please you have to help me I…”Lazear cut him off
“I know what your mission is and also who sent you and ill tell you now that I have no intention to go with you” Bethin hesitated before asking the obvious question
“How did you know what I was going to say…?” Lazear smiled and indicated the streams of water flowing through cracks in the stone the Bethin had not noticed before
“I am the water Elemental, the water flows every where and tells me all that it hears no matter where the person is or what they want to keep secret .”
“I still don’t…”
“By the way why…if you’re so young does you heart hide so much pain?”
“Huh…What how did you?”
“As well as hearing what the water says I can also read a persons soul when I heal them”
“…What can the others do…?
“…Why don’t you ask them if you find them?” Then Bethin remembered the other thing that Lazear said
“Why wont you help me?
“Because I have a goal of my own and it does not require going to Solaria.”
“…What is your goal?”
“…Lets just say I have to go and find someone.” Bethin thought a bit and then it hit him
“You have healed me and saved me from an early death but now I have a deal to make with you”
“Deal…? What type of deal?”
“Its simple, you come with me to help save solaria if I help you find the person you’re looking for.” Lazear thought a bit then smiled and looked at Bethin.
“It seems that you’ll do anything to accomplish your mission and you’d even help someone accomplish their own goals if it means that it’ll benefit your mission.”
“Who cares do you accept my deal!” Lazear smiled faintly which gave Bethin a small shiver but he ignored it
“Well will you?”
“Of course I will.”

Newbion was at first shocked by Lazear’s request to leave and was determined to stop him
“What leave, never!? We need you here!”
“Why? Why am I so important?’
“Because you are a healer and we depend on you”
“I only ever have healed the ones that are close to death, and that’s only like once or twice a year!”
“True but still I can’t let you leave us.”
“Us…or do you mean you!?” Bethin was confused and was about to ask what Lazear meant by that when Newbion sighed and sat down on a snow covered rock.
“…Your right I did mean to say me”
“…Sir I…” Now Bethin was really confused
“What the heck are you talking about?” Lazear ignored him
“Sir you have fostered me sense I was 7 and I understand your feelings but please I must go” Ahh so Newbion was Lazears foster father
“Lazear…I can’t stop you but please make sure you come back someday.” Lazear nodded
“I will I promise.” Newbion hugged Lazear and then Lazear turned to Bethin
“Let’s go.”
“Right.”

All was calm the first couple of nights and they traveled quickly with no problems.
“Lazear I didn’t think that the trip wound be this easy.” Bethin said but Lazear wasn’t listening, he had his head down near a creek and his eye were closed
“It’s the calmness that comes before a storm.”
“What?”
“Are luck wont last, we have to find shelter before another night passes.”
“What!” Bethin looked around at the flat ground
“There’s no shelter in sight.”
“Then will have to make it to the cliffs by night fall.”
“The cliffs but their miles away!”
“Then let’s hurry.” Bethin was amazed at how calm Lazear was even though their position was terrible and it would take 2 hours to reach the cliffs, and night was already dawning
“Lazear how can you be so calm.”
“It’s just the way I am. Now let’s hurry”

The storm hit just as the two were reaching the cliffs. The rain fell in buckets upon their heads and the wind pounded in their ears. Bethin could barely make out Lazears outline in front of him out of the blackness of the storm. Suddenly a mighty gust of wind forced Bethin to close his eye but when he opened them he was shocked. What he had been able to see of Lazear had now disappeared into the danger of the storm.
“Lazear…” He called into the darkness
“Lazear…!” he stumbled his way through the rain
“Lazear where are you…”He came across a small cave in the side of the cliff and he hesitated
“Lazear are you in there?” A hand suddenly grabbed him and pulled him into the darkness
“What the hell…!”
“Shut up.” Lazears voice was calm as usual but it had a firm tone
“What why…
“We don’t know what else could be in here.” This silenced Bethin and he inched closer to the entrance. It was there that Bethin and Lazear waited out the storm.

“Ahh I’m staving what food do we have.”
  “None.” It took a while for this to sink into Bethin’s brain
“What do you mean we had a weeks worth of rations in your pack”
“I know but do you see my pack any where?” Bethin looked around at what he could see of the cave in the morning light
“No I don’t see it any where.”
“See no pack no food.”
“How the heck can you be so calm!?!” Just then they heard a growl from the back of the cave and they both turned around slowly. A she wolf was standing 3 feet from them with two pups close behind. Her teeth were bared and her eye were filled with hatred, Bethin reached for his sword
“No Bethin no sudden moves.”
“Why?”
“Cause she might not be an enemy”
“What is that what your stupid water powers tell you!”
“No I just…” They heard a howl from some where out side the cave and the two whipped around just as a man walked in

He stopped and looked at the scene in front of him and then spoke out in a howling type language
“No ginog si lleh eth wath!” the she wolf spoke to him not taking her eyes off Bethin and Lazear
“Meth thiw lead nos ym Warac serdurtin!” The man

looked at the two men standing before him and as he looked at Lazear a smile grew on his face
“Lazear!” he yelled and glumped the water elemental with such force that Lazear nearly fell over backwards
“Hello Warac its been a long time.”
“Yes yes 3 years I think.”
“Really, wow I didn’t think it was that long.”
“Yah well time fly’s when you’re having …” He spotted Bethin over Lazear’s shoulder
“…fun .Lazear who’s this boy?” Lazear looked at Bethin as if he didn’t know he was there
“Oh oops, I forgot this is…” Bethin cut him off
“Hello glad to make your acquaintance I’m sorry for intruding my names Bethin prince of Solaria and son of …”
“Bethin’s enough; I don’t give a damn about the other stuff .My names Warac.” Bethin was about to comment on being interrupted when the she wolf started growling
“Warac!” Warac turned to her
“Rethom mith sturt nac ew symene ton era yeth.” The she wolfs eyes flickered from Lazear to Bethin to Warac before letting out a wolfish sigh of relief. Then she smiled a wolf like grin then she stood on her hind legs,the fur seemed to shrink away from her limbs and before the three could blink she transformed into a middle aged woman. She was dressed in furs with dark shaggy hair hanging down her back and her yellow eyes glistened with youth.
“Rethom retsof Waracs mi Kane si eman ym .” and Warac was quick to translate
“Shes my foster mom Kane.
