It had been a few weeks after Fennick had parted ways with his friend Marko in Mentis. They had spent a few weeks looking for the diary that could answer Fennick's questions, to no avail. They had finally parted ways with Marko promising to keep looking, saying he'd let Fennick know, should he find anything. Fennick had returned to the Beastlands, and to Seere, to visit his family. He and Nikon were out hunting when Nikon came running up to his Beast from the river, yipping at him to follow.
"What is it, Nikon?" Fennick asked him. "What did you find?"
Something you should see. the fox responded.
Curious, Fennick followed him to see a young teenage boy lying on the bank, apparently asleep.
I pulled him from the river.
The boy wore rags and was barefoot, numerous scars apparent on his skin where it was exposed. He also had a strange burn on his left shoulder- a Storm sign branded into his skin with a Fire sign overlaying it. Fennick checked the boy's vitals and everything was in order- which was puzzling enough. Who knows how long the boy had been there before Nikon had pulled him from the river. Putting his hand on the boy's forehead, Fennick closed his eyes to try and pry his mind. Sensing a strange blankness, he touched his mind sign and tried again, only to come up against a barrier. Confused, the young Beast withdrew and picked the young boy up.
"Come, Nikon. Let's go home." he said. "Perhaps father or the elders can divine who he is and what's happened."
