A young bard stepped off a merchant ship in the port of Ren. He took a deep breath and shifted the heavy bag to his other shoulder. It’s a new adventure for him in a new world.
“Hello friend.” A dark skinned man in black and dark purple called out as he walked closer to the young bard. “You are a bard. Are you new to Ogham-Duir?”
“Yes.” The young bard nodded. “I am a refugee from the land of dragons. I am Buu.”
“Hello Buu. I’m Grim Ranger. That ship over there is mine.” Grim looked around. “I wouldn’t speak of dragons in this port. Magick is forbidden here in Ren.”
Buu looked around suddenly afraid. “I am a bard. A teller of stories. What will they do to me?”
Grim chuckled. “You don’t want to know. Come with me. I’m on my way to visit the Druid King of Zestra. You’ll be welcome in his court.”
“Are you sure?” Buu asked.
“Yes.” Grim smiled. “Let’s get you somewhere safe.”
“Thank you.” Buu nodded.
“You will love Ogham-Duir. Just not this part of it.” Grim started walking to his ship. “This way, young Buu.”
Buu looked around and followed the man to his ship.
Less than an hour later, Buu and Grim entered the Crystal Fortress of Zestra.
Buu gazed up in awe at the jeweled mosaic of a dragon that wrapped around the white stone walls of the Great Hall.
Grim tapped Buu on the shoulder. “The king is coming this way.”
Grim bowed and sank into a shadow.
Buu knelt before the Druid King. “I am Buu, a bard and a refugee from the land of dragons.”
“I am King Hermack of Zestra. You are welcome in my court, young bard.” The dark haired king smiled at the young man. He waved the travelers over to a group of chairs by a brazier and sat down. “Come tell me your adventures.”
“Are there dragons here?” Buu pointed to the mosaic as he sat down.
“Many.” The king told him. “There is a sanctuary on Aster Cliffs for elemental dragons. The village below the cliffs has the last known community of Draconians left in all the realms.”
“What’s a Draconian?” Buu asked. “Do they worship dragons?”
The king laughed. “They are dragons or rather they have a dragon form. They can shift form between human and dragon. My dear sister in law is such a being.”
Buu’s eyes were wide with surprise.
“Lady Aura is a gentle and beautiful woman and dragon. My brother, Dragas is a lucky man.” The king leaned back in his seat. “Tell me of the dragons of your homeland Buu.”
As Buu told the king many stories, food and drink appeared for him to enjoy. It was only when the first rays of sunshine flooded the Great hall did Buu stop.
“I have kept you up all night.” The king blinked at the morning sun. “Rest and you will be my guest again this evening.” The king waved a servant over. “Follow this man he will show you to a room where you can rest.”
“Thank you.” Buu bowed to the king as he left the Great Hall.
