"There is still no news of Darticus," said Rylo to his Uncle. "Shall we send a messenger over to the north to find out ", what the reason seems to be,"'asked Rylo. "That is a good idea, lets do that," replied the Uncle. "Its best he avoids Wilmir. There is something brewing there," the uncle added. "Alright," replied Rylo. "And my father Unlce, he would like to meet you," said Rylo. "I will meet him in the evening," replied the Uncle. "Rylo, there is news coming from all over. That there will be no war," said the uncle. "Why? I was actually looking forward to it,"'replied Rylo. "No one looks ahead for war. Only a madman would," replied the uncle. "What do you expect to win out of it," asked the Uncle. "Win, I do not expect to win,"'replied Rylo. The Uncle was really puzzled now. "What do you mean by that?"'asked the uncle. "You see Uncle, you can win even when you lose,"'replied Rylo. "How so?" asked the Uncle. "Chaos," replied Rlyo. "And what do you stand to gain with Chaos?" asked the uncle. "Everything uncle, Everything. When you roll the dice nobody knows what number is going to fall," replied Rylo. "You are indeed a madman, or at least turning into one," his uncle sighed not taking too seriously the comments of Rylo. "Send the messemger,"'his uncle said and left. Later that evening: Rylo's uncle goes over to his fathers house. Rylo's father was sitting on his desk writing something seriously. "Hello," Said Claudio to Rylo's father. "Hello Claudio," replied the father. "You seem to be busy," said Claudio. "No, not at all. Please come in," greeted the father of Rylo. Claudio entered the modest house of his father, he lived alone. Rylo's father could see that Claudio was not his usual self "You seem a bit bothered," said the Father. "Please sit down, do you need some water," he asked Claudio. "No Brother," replied Claudio. "What bothers me are the words that come out of my nephew," said Claudio speakikg his true intent. "What has he said now," asked the father. "That boy of mine, he was never good for anything except fighting," said the Father. "I'am afraid he is turning over to the side of evil," he has become corrupt," replied Claudio. "Its just words for now, replied the Uncle. I just hope it does not turn to action," "What makes you think it is just words?" asked the father. "What do you mean?" asked Claudio back to him. "I think he was the one who poisoned me, my own son," said the father trying to hold back his tears. "No, that is not true. I don not think he is capable of that," replied Claudio. "He is capable of much worse," replied the father. "I do not believe it," said Claudio. "He did it, if you believe it or not. I know my son and the evil that resides in him," replied the father. "For the oak? all that for the oak?" asked Claudio. "Yes he just does not know any better," replied the father. "What do we do? And Darticus is not here, He has been gone for a long time," asked Claudio. "We stay safe," replied the father. "And do not utter a word of this to anyone or Rylo." "Be careful with him, he is not the child he once was. "He tried to kill you, brother," said Claudio in an angry tone. "I do not think he tried to kill me, he poisoned me just about enough to make me sick," replied the father. "Stop supporting him brother, after what he has done. You still find the heart to support him?" asked Claudio. "No one knows what he is capable of. As soon as Darticus returns, we tell him everything about Rylo. "Till then we stay safe and act as if everything is normal ," said Claudio. The father nodded again The two men sat in silence Rylo sends the messenger to find out the whereabouts of Darticus. His cousin walks to him, his oldest ally and one of the few people trusted by Rylo. The two men shared the same ideals and they were about the same age. But there was a disadvantage in the young man. He was not too sharp. "Rylo," said the cousin. It was just about getting dark. And it looked like it was about to rain as well. "Cousin it is going to rain. The messenger will get lost if the rains are too heavy," he said. "I know," said Rylo. "I do not like him and i do not want him to return as well," The two men let out an evil laughter. "You are smarter than I thought cousin," said the cousin. "Cousin, he said to Rylo. "There is something important i want to tell you," There is news that i hear that the Forests of Wilmir hold a secret. "Wilmir? Wilmir has surrounded itself in darkness long before we were born cousin,"'said Rylo. It is covered with secrets. "No, not this time cousin. This secret should greatly interest you,"'replied the cousin. Rylo still did not pay much attention to it. "There is news that there is an egg in the middle of Wilmir. And the egg is protected by ghosts,"'saidnthe dimwitted cousin. "Egg? ghosts? What are you on about? asked Rylo. "And the egg is no normal egg. It is the egg of a dragon," replied the cousin. Rylo laughed, "Cousin, you are back at it again. Your adventures that are cooked up in dreams. Dragons? rubbish," Rylo laughed again. "No, no Rylo. you have to listen to me. This is the truth,"said the cousin. "Do not pay attention to this nonsense," Said Rylo "You wait and watch cousin, I will get this egg and then you wont laugh at me no more," replied the cousin. "And even if what you say was true, how do you plan and getting the egg. Aren't there ghosts that guard it," asked Rylo. "I know some thugs, cousin, really terrible ones, They have crossed Wilmir a couple of time," replied the cousin. "Just don't get yourself killed,"'said Rylo The cousin walked away with a smile on his face "I wont be the fool anymore, I shall be respected," thought the cousin.
