The young wizard and his new friends journey together finally reaching the purple river waterfall "Violet Cascade." Conversations ramble on through the morning sun.
" My boys and I have been calling you Mr. Wizard. So, what is thy true name? " The young wizard cracked half a smile and spoke out. " Although I do enjoy Mr. Wizard! My name is Solan." Both the boys smiled, and Liam spoke out. " So, Mr. Solan it is!" Solan smiled and laughed. " No just Solan will be fine."
Solan then turned to Alston and asked of his journey. " May I ask why you are travelling to the castle city?" Alston smiled faded and explained their journey. " Our town of Egnur was destroyed by an army of dark creatures. My wife Miria and the boy's mother woke us in the night. She was part of the watch and a great fighter. She took us out of town and instructed us to get to her sister in Oinotna. As we fled our town, she went back to help the other soldiers get families out. It was the last time we saw her. Kanan then spoke out about his mom. " Mom is the best fighter ever! She can kick anyone's ***! " Solan smiled and agreed. " I'm sure she could! " Alston then spoke. " I was a woodsman. I could build anything. I once built Miria's father a weapon shed, and she came to observe my work. It was at that moment we fell in love with each other. A warrior and a woodsman. She was way out of my league. But the stars aligned that evening. I suppose we were meant to be." Alston smiled and looked to his feet as he followed them on the journey. " May I ask why you journey to the castle city Solan?" Solan then explained. " The monsters and the creatures. The attacks on towns like yours and mine. Something is not right with the balance of things. Even magic and invocations are being affected in such a way we cannot explain. New spells are being discovered at an alarming rate. While creatures never seen have somehow come to life with malice and hate. The lineage of the wizards will be gathering at Oinotna for a council of thoughts. Wizards from all over the lands are making the same journey I am. Hopefully together we can find this imbalance." The sound of Violet cascade sang through the air. Alston then spoke out. " The waterfall. We must now head west down the blue and green trail. Should take about a day to reach the bottom of the mountain. Solan then smiled. " I have a better idea! Frostias Platformais Sliadia! Translation (Ice bridge slide). A huge ice slide fell to the bottom of the waterfall in a beautiful spiral formation. Without hesitation Solan slid first with screams of joy echoing across the ravine as he slid to the bottom of the waterfall. Alston and the boys followed with both screams of fear and joy!
