A dream, or reality? After all this time, Maedhras was still uncertain.

Everything was different now, and she was unprepared for the changes this circumstance had forced upon her. Her Gather had always kept her away from the temptations and corruptions of the villages; she knew that some trading went on between travellers and the Archdruids, but she'd never had anything to do with that.

Yet standing before the dragon, everything had changed.

As bidden, she made her way down that ethereal laneway, her strength and determination coming to her, yet still wondering if it was dream or fantasy. And into Hlint, only bearing the clothes on her back.

She'd never seen so many buildings so close to one another. And so many people. She was lost... adrift... a falling leaf in the wind... and a fish out of water.

If it hadn't been for bumping into a kindly adventurer who was in a similar position to herself, Jasper, she would have been utterly, totally lost.

He introduced her to the concepts of commerce, and their discussions ranged far and wide - on the nature of what it was the dragon wanted from them, why they were chosen, and the strengths each might possess that the dragon prized.

At least she'd found a friend.
