"Take it. You are going to need it." The Sergeantmaster spoke, placing the small pouch of coins in Aquila's hand. When she looked up at him, she could almost imagine a kind smile beneath his mask. She had never seen the Sergeantmaster without his mask. He was a Seer as well, and that meant looking the part. They all appeared to look the same, even though Aquila was able to recognize her Sergeant by voice, the way he walked and the tiny gestures he made when excited. She had spent much more time around him in the past five years, than she did with her own family.Aquila

Now, she was leaving Analand. The outside world waited for her and a small party of people gathered at the gates to see her on her way. They wished her good fortune and quick return. Her parents were not there. But, the Sergeantmaster gave her a warm squeeze of the shoulder and an approving nod.
"You have a long way to go, friend." He spoke. His voice was calm and gentle. It could sound both young and old at the same time. Aquila did not know his age, nor his name and she probably never will. It did not even matter at this point, she was leaving Analand on a quest that would take at least three months, if she was lucky, but in fact, even though it was not spoken out loud, no one really expected her to return at all.
And how could they. No one had come close to the Archmage since he climbed to power. No one sane, that is. He had his own servants, creatures and people he bent to his will, his spies were everywhere. Aquila was going deep into his net, to the very fortress he built so he could watch the world above and move his subjects like marionettes. She could not defy the King even if she wanted to. She was trained for this kind of a task after all, a perfect soldier, a sorcerer. This was her big test, she would either succeed or die in the attempt.
The sun was beating down on them as the gates opened. Aquila could see the dirt road ahead and on the very verge of the horizon - houses that made the village of Cantopani. This was the first settlement outside of Analand's borders and there were man more ahead.
- Ask Sergeantmaster what lies ahead.
- Ask Sergeantmaster about the crown.
- Ask Sergeantmaster for advice.
- Say goodbye and continue ahead.
