Greetings...

At first, Aralt thought to just jump into the conversation and ask the two strangers what they were talking about and how did they know about the conversation with Siate', but then a doubt hit him!  "Did these people take my place while I was not with the Dragons all of these years?" he asked himself.  It had been a long time that the Dragons left the Realm of Wymsy.  

"Had possibly Siate' and the other Dragons chosen another Herald to replace me  since I did not leave with them on their exodus?" Aralt thought.  "I need to listen to more of what they are saying," he decided before exposing himself to them.

As the two bakers continued to brew more Ambrosia, Aralt sat behind the rock and listened as they discussed the magics of Dragons and something about mis-enchantments.  Soon Aralt realized that somehow when the Dragons left the realm, they started to have magical wishes backfire and anyone within the range of the wish might disappear.  That was news!  Also, these bakers were with a group of SPIs (which Aralt had no idea what that meant), that had dedicated themselves to helping return the mis-enchanted.  

​Apparently the Ambrosia was the key, but in the time that he tried to overhear their conversation, he could not figure out how it worked.

When finally the Herald thought he had learned what he could, he quietly snuck back to the entrance of the cave and then turned around and started making as much noise as he could by calling out loudly if there was anyone home.  That brought the two bakers outside and to him where he figured he had the advantage and could watch both of them easier.

"Can I assist you?" asked the short heavy baker.  "I am Allspice and this is my friend, Nutmegg."

"I am looking for a young Dragon with the name of Dree.  Have you seen him or maybe know where he is?" asked Aralt.

Allspice and Nutmegg just stood and stared at Aralt saying nothing until the Herald realized that he had not introduced himself.  "I am Aralt," was all he said as he did not want them to know about his relationship with the Dragons.  What Aralt did not know was that Allspice had already seen him with Siate' and had already told Nutmegg. 

"Ah, the young Dragon.  No, we do not know where he is.  Have you checked where he lives?" asked Nutmegg.  "He wasn't in the caves by the water where I first found him.  I must locate him and ask him some questions," answered Aralt.  After some more small talk, Aralt decided that he needed to find this 'Dree' before Siate' did.  So he left the two bakers and started off to continue his search.

When Aralt was out of site, Nutmegg turned to Allspice.  "Now we know where this 'Dree' lives.  I think I need to go check it out," Nutmegg said with a twinkle in his eyes.  "Are you good here to continue without me for a while?"  Allspice nodded and laughed.  He could always tell when "the detective bug" had hit Nutmegg.  "Go.  I will be fine," Allspice answered as he laughed again and headed back into the cave to start another batch of Ambrosia.
