The first thing that Rowan did upon reaching the shores of Hide harbour was to ask around about sightings of Syryn.
The anti mage knew that there was still time for Syryn to return but he couldn't rest easy. Something was wrong and he knew it like the way seasoned sailors knew when a storm was arriving.
The blond went to every ship and spoke to every captain. He came away with similar replies that, yes, there had been a man looking to travel to coop island. None of the sailors had taken Syryn to coop island. It was a dead end.
He went through every drinking den, every place that offered food and bed at the harbour. Another dead end. None of the businesses had seen the mage or talked to someone looking to visit coop island. Another dead end.
