Chapter 2.1 - Arrival in Lepidstadt
The past few weeks had been busy for Darcon, but enjoyable nonetheless. Aside from helping Kendra catalogue the professors library, Darcon spent time with Alendru, increasing his knowledge about the arcane arts.
His Order specialized in magicks of storm, air and thunder while also studying other elements to a lesser degree, while Alendru had collected lore of different kinds of magicks over the course of his life.
Darcon found it enlightening to broaden his scope and delve deeper into other magickal theorems and spells, and felt it made him a more complete mage, but not at the expense of his existing focus and base of aeromancy.
After their travails in the village it felt good to pursue quieter and more academic interests, as well as more mundane ones, such as studying the letter from Montegaine Crowl. He vowed to make her acquaintance at the first possible opportunity when they reached Lepidstadt.
Darcon also enjoyed helping in training and instructing Kendra; he knew they were destined for more trials and she with them, and the young woman would need all the skills she could learn to prepare herself for the danger that lay ahead.
When after days of enjoyable journey they reached the city, Darcon's mind, like so many others, was intrigued by the news of the capture of this 'Beast'. He looked forward to seeing how the trial proceeded, though he hoped it would not distract them from their job at hand.
