"You got it. Just let me know when you want to do something. I'll be around." Zmerr smiled at Pyria before shaking her hand and leaving.

Zmerr headed home, trying to organize some kind of schedule in his mind. He knew he probably should not have spent so much time with Pyria, but he also knew he shouldn't have shrugged her off either. He knew she had power, being Cadmus' daughter, but that was not at why he'd gone with her. He had few friends and was happy at the possibility of making a new one regardless of her status. 

As soon as he came up to the front door, he noticed a piece of paper poking out of the mail slot. Mail? Zmerr never received mail. To his people, he was practically an outcast. He pulled the paper out and almost fell over when he saw who it was from. In beautiful silver script, the top corner read Cadmus. He replied that soon? 

Zmerr hurried inside and shut the door. He opened the letter and poured over every detail.
