Those in the Abresi town square would note a particular individual, walking around the market stalls and buildings as though he is looking for someone with whom he can hold audience. Finally, he steps onto the fountain located in the center of the city, clearing his throat. Samuel Geminine begins his short announcement, shouting in his gritty voice, heard through the square.

 

" Your attention, citizens! A moment! " Once the clamor of the now-bustling city dies down, Samuel continues. He pulls a peculiar object from his vest, presenting it to the crowd - a ring, with two names upon it. " I have discovered this piece of jewelry outside of Malinor, after the recent attack on the city by the menace of the Northern lands, the foul, corrupted creatures that kidnap men to do their bidding. " He raises his hand, opening his palm to allow anyone watching to see the ring better. " This ring, is engraved with the names of two people - Drake, and Emerilla Lancefield. Now, I was present when the Elven princedom was raided. A man - Drake, I assume - was unfortunately one of the brave men taken by the beast-men. Drake is gone ... and if anyone here knew him, I am sorry to tell you this. It is too late, I fear ... Creator guide him. "

Samuel lowers his voice, stepping down from the fountain and standing at the foot of the people watching. " I come here to look for Emerilla, or anyone else who knew of this Drake lad, for me to bring this news. " He clasps his hands together, awaiting a response from the crowd gathered.

Emerilla looks down from the sky, towards the fountain. At first she tilts her head, positive she did not hear him correctly. Emerilla continues to study him, his words slowly setting in. She begins to shake slightly, tears forming in her eyes. She covers her face with her hands, shaking her head. Weeping, she remains there, unable to move as the realization began to set in. Drake was never coming home...
