Kel walked into the city, towards its human district.  The Island, like the city, was divided between the different races roughly equally, with one district for each major race.  When he entered the human district of the city he went to visit his parents in their home on the wall, but they had already left.  He started to head towards the contest registration booth, but saw a rider come in from the one of the outlying villages.   From the way the man talked, they had been attacked by an unknown party.

While it would take days for soldiers on foot to get there, the Dragons and riders in town left at once.  They should be there by nightfall, able to help.  "It can't be a coincidence." he said, "attacking on the anniversary."

"Maybe one of the other races decided to try and take our territory." Kerras said.
