Adrian and Haki spent the rest of the day getting ready for their journey. Haki had prepared various potions and foods for the road while Adrian drew them a map of the quickest route to Du’Vir. Before long they parted ways to finish final preparations for their journey. 

Haki left the city and headed to the nearby forest. Once out of sight, he grabbed a whistle from his bag and blow into it. A soft whistle echoed throughout the forest seemingly causing it to come alive. Various small animals and critters came and greeted him as he waited for the real target of the whistle. Moments later two rather large griffins dropped out of the sky and landed in front of him. Atari and Diana were griffins, magical beast with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion, that Haki had made a contracted with when he discovered his innate magic. He had the blood of a druid running through his veins which allowed him to manipulate the forces of nature and to form contracts with magical beasts.

Back at the city, Adrian worked as quickly as he could to gather the supplies for a locater spell. He hoped that he could use it to locate the man in Du’Vir. While running around town he noticed Chance following a man into a back ally and decided to investigate. He teleported onto a nearby building and watched the vampire from out of sight. After realizing what Chance was up to, he walked away. He didn’t want to see the rest of that interaction and moved on with his objective. 

An hour later the fun had finally set over the horizon. Adrian and Haki met outside the city gate and waited to see if the others would come. Haki hoped that they would join since it would be better to have allies but Adrian thought otherwise. He didn't like strangers or surprises.
