El was definitely the right person Annabeth was looking for. Humble but honest, a hard combo to find. Most people would just accept praise or downplay their ability to the extreme. A balance was needed. Annabeth walked towards the dock's district. [color=fff200]"Aye I do. Well... Somewhat actually. I don't know him personally, we've never spoken before. But during the battle just a week ago, I stationed myself at the front gates. When the enemy broke through many defenders were lost as I tried my best to hold my own against the commander of the enemy forces. Fortunately another warrior arrived to thin the numbers, causing them to scatter so that I could focus my attention towards their leader. He had the look of a seaman of him; someone used to the salty waves and rough oceans. It would certainly explain how he handled himself so calmly in the midst of chaos. He skewered soldiers left and right as if they were nothing more than fishes in a barrel. He seemed a stoic sort, as after the battle I've only seen him alone, healing when he was taken to the temple due to his wounds. Still I believe he's a man of good judgement, steady aim, and strong will. A perfect addition to our team yeah?"[/color]

Though it embarrassed Annabeth that despite knowing his deeds and actions, she doesn't even know his name. Calling him "the fisherman" felt dishonorable for all the things he did that day. He was arguably more useful in defending the gate than the rest of the city's militia, who had either died or fled once the marauders had broken through. [color=fff200]"Fortunately, while I was assisting the sailors with moving the dead to be dumped into the ocean, I saw him head into what I presume is his home. I figured we'll pay him a visit and see if he's doing well."[/color]

A short walk to the docks and Annabeth would soon find where the mysterious man lived. To her surprise however, she also spotted another visitor knocking on his door. Annabeth vaguely recognized her as the apprentice of a local wise man of some sort. The details eluded her, but she did see her a lot more after the battle of Tamberle, tending to the wounded. She could be a useful addition to the party as well though Annabeth knew nothing about her aside from her ability as a healer, and not even that. [color=fff200]"Hoy there! Are you here to see the fisherman as well?"[/color]
