*As usual, the Wolfenden villagers are going about their daily business when suddenly some of them hear wingbeats, then see a big shadow fall on the ground. They look up and see a great green dragon flying in the sky, and someone is riding in it's saddle! One of the villagers rubs their eyes and blinks, as it's not often that dragons are seen near Wolfenden. The dragon makes a change in his flight pattern and starts to fly down...he's obviously going to land in Wolfenden! The watching villagers scatter to clear a space for the dragon to land in - they know that it's a good dragon, because he is green. The dragon, Smirkenorff, makes a smooth landing then turns to the girl in the saddle*
Smirkenorff: "Well, here we are back in Wolfenden. I'm quite tired and need a bit of a rest...so if you could disembark I would be most grateful. I have carried you for miles, you know!"
*The girl, GreenDragon (it's her nickname) speaks to Smirkenorff*
"OK, Smirky. You've been really good to me, carrying me all this way. I'm really looking forward to going back to school - are you coming with me this time, Smirky?"
Smirkenorff: "I'm afraid I can't this time. I can maybe help out sometimes, but I'd really rather sleep in a cave instead of a stable. Remember that you have your little companion, Red, to accompany you."
*At the sound of his name, a little red dragon comes out from beneath GreenDragon's cloak and flies onto her shoulder. He nuzzles her cheek affectionately.*
Red: "That's right, I'll be your familiar and we can go on lots of adventures together!"
*GreenDragon disembarks from Smirky and bids him farewell. He flies off to find a nearby cave to sleep in.*
GreenDragon: "Well, Red. Let's go and see if we can get a room at the inn, shall we?"
*They look around. The villagers are crowding towards her, curious of the new arrival*

[ModNote: Hordriss was last seen in An Undying Tale.] *Back in his far-off study, Hordriss is preparing his guest room, ready to be prepared if the SUCCOUR spell is activated, when he hears a buzzing sound from his scrying crystal. Lifting it to his eyes he sees the image of GreenDragon's arrival.* Oh dear, one had forgotton! *Rapidly he declaims his teleportation spell and arrives a little out of breath behind a nearby building. Quickly he regains his composure, straightens his robes, and enters the square. For the most part the villagers part to let him through, he is forced, to his great annoyance, to tap on the shoulder of one rather dense villager to make him move aside. Finally he reaches his neice.* Ah, Meliss, one is most gratified to see that your journey was safe. One has some excellent news, the new boarding school is already under construction and will soon be complete. Now, my child, are you tired after your long journey? *Despite his formal speech, he does seem genuinely pleased to see his neice.* Come, come, let us leave aside these gawpers.... Now, you'll forgive me for asking, but how was Sidriss when you left her? One is anxious to know if she is thriving at Miss Moonshine's academy....

[ModNote: Nesty was last seen in On a Mission.] *Nesty as always never one to miss a chance for buisness had arrived and was selling his wares to the crowd when, he sudernly relise which Dragon this is.* "Dragons Blood, Thats that rethced Smerkinoff. His Lordship might be very intrested in this." *Nesty steps to one side now out os sight of the crowd BUT not Hordriss and activates his spy glass, however due to Lord Fear being ocupied with watching Tom & DG strugale through Marblehead, he can not raise him. The magic spy glass is however disturbing the atmosper enough for Hordriss to detect it.*

To GD: Excuse me, my dear, one has just noticed some business to which to attend.
*Having sensed the spyglass, Hordriss sees Nesty hunched over in a side alley and swiftly puts two and two together. Moving surprisingly silently for a man of his years, no doubt aided by Nesty's concentration on the glass, he moves to behind the trader*
Well, well Mr Nesty, is there something you feel that you ought to be telling us?
*Knowing that opposition agents can be dangerous, he part-prepares a spell under his breath*

*Nesty spins round in shock., But still has the presence of mind to hide the Spyglass behind his bac.k.*
"WHAT THE.........Oh Heck."
"Are Your magnificent one."
"I was just............"
*Nesty considers the Darkness powder option but decides against it.*
"It's no crime to have alliances to certain persons in this dungeon you know."
(OOC: Well since non of Fear's henchmen are ever arested I assume The rules of The Dungeon make them immune to prosacution for crimes commited on behalf of Lord Fear.)

One is sure that it would be were it not for the continual threat of your master, Mr Nesty.
I am sure that your stall might suffer an unfortunate lack of custom were this perfectly genuine fact to be known however.
*Hordriss sees an opportunity*
However, one sees only one piece of evidence here, without that one supposes that there is little of a case against you. Perhaps if one were to relieve you of the evidence? The subsequent severing of communication would of course, be merely a delightful extra.
[OOC: Unusually sarcastic? Perhaps, but Hordriss certainly has no love for Lord Fear, not after all those years of making him look like a fool. And as for the Marta incident...]

"He'll kill me."

Kill his trader! No, Fear is not a fool. Besides, who is to say I have found yours? Only a few years ago the area was littered with these devices....
But if you are quite so 'opposed' to my moment of weakness then one must proceed in the manner of any decent citizen.
*Coughs loudly*
Ladies and gentlemen, one has a rather unfortunate announcement to make....

"Alright, alright."
"You can have it."
*Nesty produces the Spy Glass*
"Like you say I can always obtain another."

....and the announcement is that one will not be able to grace you with one's prescence for long as one must escort one's neice to her lodgings.
*The crowd disperses. Hordriss pockets the spyglass*
Quieter: Thank you Mr Nesty. One hopes that you can use this opportunity to avoid the commands of your master, and possibly lead to redemption, there are many advantages to be found by a truly honest trader.
*Hordriss returns to his neice*

*Noeing the crowds have thined out. Nesty calls out after Hordriss.*
"Mabey so Hordriss. But The rewards for my alliances to my master is far greater."

Perhaps at first Nesty...
*he turns and speaks quietly but with intensity*
But believe the word of one who used to belong to the darkness, when I say that ultimately, evil is truly self-destructive. As the good Brother Strange would say: 'The wages of sin is death.'

Hmmm... a slippery customer certainly....

*Returns to GreenDragon's side*
One apologises for that Meliss, although the Boarding school is usually free from interfearence the local area is still undergoing some troubles...
Now, about Sidriss....
