It wasn't that I was unhappy in the fortress; I was merely content to be safe with my people, who were not at all what I imagined. Then, after I had been there two years, during the year of 919, a sudden appearance occurred. One day life carried on as normal; the next, winged creatures on flying horses appeared with one who was not quite unlike us. He was a Cron with thick blond hair, and he called himself Cuthan the Adventurous. He was a golden youth that anyone would easily fall in love with. He was strong, brave, and strangely uplifted. I was nineteen that year; he was twenty-two, and unlike me, he had lived, truly lived. He came with Mermis, those creatures who, although they appear to be like us Crons, have silvery wings on their ankles and originated from a place called Spherical Land in the Western World. These particular Mermis were descendants of Crinte the Wise and Marklus the Healer, who were both part of the Five Warriors, those legendary heroes from the Western World. Because they were part Cron, they had lost the ability to fly, and so their horses, the Silver Herd, carried them whenever they wished.

These strangers were readily welcomed into the fortress, and eventually, we were able to hear their stories. Cuthan was an excellent storyteller; he was from the Eastern World and relayed to us the beautiful tale of Pharengon of the Jeweled Sword and his friends. Apparently, something was wrong with the Eastern World; the land was dying, and a war was coming. Cuthan and his friends traveled to the perilous North Forests to search for the Clyear of Alaireia. He told tales of their adventures, but the story that enticed us the most, the story we begged for over and over, was how Magdela the Monrage was killed. Cuthan was there when Pharengon of the Jeweled Sword killed Magdela the Monrage, the enemy of our world and the one who started all this commotion and hatred between the White Steeds and the Black Steeds.

We hung onto his every word, hoping and daring to believe that this Pharengon who carried the Jeweled Sword was the One we were waiting for, the One “Song” was sung about. “He will come when he is young. He will wield the Jeweled Sword.” Cuthan the Adventurous was quick to destroy our hopes; he told us the One would come from us, from our own world. How he would hold the Jeweled Sword was a mystery left to the hands of fate. Our hope faded once again, yet we still listened as he spoke of victory and then of his adventures and his salvation, of how he found the Mermis and begged them to take him with them. They had already toured the Western World, and now the South World was their last stop; they were going to the Pillars of Creation. I wanted to them to take me with them; their destination sounded glorious beyond my wildest dreams.
