Kit, Riko, Prowl, and Axel cornered King Brasil in Brunascar’s library—a huge building that had shelves stacked with scrolls nearly as big as the dwarves themselves.

The king was squinting over a scroll spread out on a great wooden desk when they approached him.

“Why if it isn’t Mistress Riko, Master Prowl, and some of their friends. Please, sit with me.” King Brasil motioned for them to sit on the stools that lined the desk. “Take some refreshments if you like.”

Prowl eyed the square tea set that was set out. “You drink tea?”

King Brasil snorted. “My wife loves it—it’s a citrus blend from the east. I prefer ale and mead, but last time I tried to bring that here, the head librarian threw me out.”

“We thank you for your hospitality,” Riko said as she took a seat.

Axel sat as well, his legs bunched up ridiculously on the small stool as he took a square tea cup that sat comfortably in one hand. “Why am I here?” he whispered.

“Because we need to present a strong image,” Kit whispered back. “Dwarves respect strength.”

Axel looked from his flowery-scented tea to the small stools. “Then I think we chose the wrong place to make our move.”

Prowl half-grinned, then pulled his goggles down so they covered his eyes.

Kit caught Riko’s eye and nodded.

The druid took a breath and placed a professional smile on her lips. “King Brasil,” she said, drawing his attention from his tea. “We would like to discuss the legendary seals with you.”

“Ah, yes. I had forgotten the lot of you were after the legendary seals.” King Brasil wiped his mouth off on his arm.

“Yes. Would you grant us the great honor of giving us the dwarven seal?” Riko asked.

The dwarf king tapped his thick fingers on the scratched table surface. “I will…”

Kit’s heart leapt. She didn’t think it would be this easy! Dwarves have become my new favorite race in this entire game!

Unfortunately, King Brasil wasn’t finished. “But you will have to earn it.”

“Of course.” Riko kept her expression serene. “It would only be fair.”

Kit was not nearly so understanding. “What would you want us to do?”

“It is not so much that you will do something for me, as much as it is that you must display your courage,” he said.

Riko glanced at Prowl, cuing the Saboteur to make his move. He leaned forward and smiled wolfishly. “Cut to the chase, King. What do you want us to do?”

King Brasil laughed heartily. “I admire a lad who knows his mind! Very well. You can have the seal, but your test of courage will be retrieving it.”

A sneaking suspicion started to poke the back of Kit’s mind. “And where is the seal?” she asked.

“It is in a cavern that has long been abandoned by my people,” King Brasil said.

Prowl frowned. “You mean you lost it?”

“Not precisely. It is more that we were…unexpectedly forced to abandon that location.”

“Why?” Kit asked, hoping it was only in some far-off area that had experienced a cave-in. That was better than the alternative.
