The three friend eyes darted in the direction of the voice as they saw a tall woman coming out of a door. She had green eyes and gold-colored hair that fell down her back like a cascade, her lips were pink, and had a perfect shape and size, she had a skin akin to porcelain and no imperfections could be seen on it.

The girl was simply gorgeous, and the reason for such beauty was clear to the eyes as her ears were pointy, this fact coupled with her physical characteristic made it clear that she was an Elf.

Dayer was about to unsheathe his daggers when Marr stopped his with a hand gesture. The Dragonborn looked at the girl as he asked.

“Who are you?”

The Elven girl looked at Marr as some hesitation could be seen on her eyes. Finally, she made up her mind as she answered.

“I’m Yllana and I'm a magician. I want to make you an offer.”

Marr looked the girl in the eye as he nodded indicating her to go ahead.

“I was part of the Magic college of Arlhatan, the day I graduated I received an unexpected visitor. She was a General of the rebellion, Sanarei. The Tiefling woman wanted me to control this void cruiser for them, I refused to help them as I wanted nothing to do with them.”

The Elven girl clenched her fists as her nail’s dug deep into her hands as she kept going.

“Sanarei then told me that they had my younger sister, and if I ever wanted to see her again, I would do what they told me to.”

Dayer looked at the girl as he said.

“So, let me see if I can guess what you want. The three of us go in and save your sister and you will control the void cruiser for us?”

The girl nodded as she looked pleadingly at the three friends.

Marr looked at the halfling as he asked.

“Merrich, is she lying?”

Merrich negated with his head as he said.

“Not one word that came from her mouth is a lie.”

Marr looked at the girl and pondered for a while. Finally, he nodded at her as he said.

“Fine we help you save your sister and you will help us deal with the rebellion.”

---------------------------

Down on the cave, a huge silhouette could be seen entering it.

It had a gray colored skin and big canines on his face. He had been told to stay in the forest, but he couldn’t help himself as he was worried about the three persons he had just met.

Ardokk slowly came inside the cave and inspected the two rooms close to the entrance near the trap. He had an impressed expression as he saw there wasn’t a single soldier alive, and he exhaled a breath of relief as he realized none of the bodies belonged to his three new friends.

The big Orc kept going and finally reached the biggest of the three rooms, he looked around till he found one specific soldier that had a key around his neck. Ardokk grabbed the key and rushed inside the biggest tent, he didn’t even realize there was a big aperture inside the tent. He went straight to a dusty chest at one side of the tent and opened it with the key.

Inside the chest there were many things, Ardokk grabbed a dress and a rag doll and he looked at them as his eyes reddened, he rubbed the items against his face as tears could be seen coming out of his eyes.

He cried for a while, and he kept the items inside a backpack he carried. It was at this moment he realized the big pathway inside this tent.

Ardokk cleaned his face and put his backpack on and went inside the path.

----------------------------------------

The girl's eyes light up as she heard Marr’s acceptance, tears rolled down her eyes as she thanked the three friends.

Marr looked at Dayer as he said.

“Now you can learn how to truly be an Elf wannabe from her.”

Merrich laughed out loud and Dayer snorted at the comment.

The Eladrin got close to the girl as she asked.

“So, tell me what were you studying in Arlhatan? How did you catch the Rebellion's attention?”

The girl looked at Dayer and realized he was an Eladrin as her eyes once again light up as she said.

“You are a descendant of the Faye! Impressive the plane laws around are distinct indeed! Ah, yes you asked what I was studying right? I’m a planefinder!”

The girl kept talking about many different things as she kept inspecting Dayer all over she even took a hair sample for planar analysis.

Dayer looked helplessly at his two friends as he enunciated “H-E-L-P-M-E-!” with his lips.

Marr looked at Merrich as he said.

“I think I heard someone calling us, right?”

“Indeed, I think I heard it too!”

“We should go check it out Merrich!”

The two friends got out of the room as fast as they could while Dayer screamed.

“Oi! We killed everyone in this base!”

“How could someone be calling you guys!”

“Hey what the hell have I done to you two?”

“HEY!!! HEY!!! HEEEELP MEEEE!!!!”

The two friends laughed out loud as they got out of the control room.

As they got out on the deck, they saw a familiar figure who came up to them with a big smile on his face.

The two friends smiled warmly at Ardokk who, as he got closer, opened his arms and hugged them.

Suddenly his face seemed to change as he let the two down and looked at Marr.

“You two no kill Yllana right? Yllana good to Ardokk, little crazy but good elf.”

Marr and Merrich couldn’t help but laugh at Ardokk comment as they looked at the big Orc in front of them as the Halfling said.

“We didn’t kill her Ardokk, she will help us with our mission.”

Marr than laughing added.

“And Dayer is experiencing the “crazy” part right now!”

Ardokk showed a Delighted expression knowing she wasn’t killed by them showing a pitying face as he shook his head while saying.

“Elf friend have bad time…”

Marr and Merrich laughed even harder as they saw Ardokk's face. The Dragonborn then looked at his Halfling friend as the Halfling nodded.

“Ardokk do you want to come with us? We will give you a place to stay, food and even pay you! All we need you to do is to help us take care of the ship.”

Ardokk looked at Marr with clear happiness on his face as he asked Marr.

“Ardokk can stay with Lizardman? And two weird looking friends? Really?”

Marr smiled warmly as he nodded.

Ardokk once again hugged the two friends after that he quickly got inside the cruiser into one of the cabins.

When he came out, he started to tidy up the whole place and clean everything with an apron that seemed made from beast fur. Ardokk strength was impressive as he raised the quarter ton canons of the Cruiser with one hand to clean underneath.

The scene stunned the two friends as they looked at the Orc as if seeing a monster.

Marr looked at Merrich and said.

“So, our second target will be Sanarei. Any idea which base is hers?”

Merrich sat down and looked around his bag for a while. Finally, he got a pendulum with a quartz on one end of it, he filled a metal bowl with water and hold the pendulum on top of the bowl.

The Halfling chanted an elven spell for a while, suddenly a small drop came out of the pendulum an image formed on the bowl.

A dark place with many twisted trees and a black colored gue could be seen on the water.

When Marr saw the image on the bowl he said.

“To the darkplague swamp, it is.”
