The 6th Day of the 12th Moon

I cannot believe it. These wandering nomads are the magicians I saw when I was just a boy! Franklin knows wizards and elves! I have always wanted to meet them and see them again. And now I am traveling with them! They were quite flattered when I foolishly gushed my excitement to see them again. I will say they are quite a bit older, but I am too. I asked them if they still traveled to put on shows. I probably shouldn’t have asked them that. They instantly turned solemn. With the change of opinion of magic amongst us humans, they have been run out of several towns. They now wander outside human kingdoms from city to city helping in whatever ways they can. After a bit of prying they admitted that they were also researching rumors of dragon activity. I was not aware of such activity and it usually is not a positive sign. Even if it is the Gold and Green dragons being guided by the Dragon Lady, the Prince of Dragons usually is close behind. Why would they be so active? Cherish did not realize the severity of this and was excited hoping that they would see at least one dragon fly over head. Galhid assured us that the dragons were uncommon in this area, but rumors put them over Tith and the Northern Lands. What would bring them so far from their nesting areas?

Franklin is encouraging us to stay up today in order to switch back to sleeping at night. Luckily Cherish and I are fascinated with the different stories and spells they would cast for us. Franklin is speaking with them about our situation. They are glancing at me regularly with curiosity and concern. Maybe they can help us figure this out. I cannot help but wonder if Franklin knows why Alan is after me. If so, why will he not tell me?
