Grand Lord Varris was walking with his wife, The Gand Lady Sarah, they were winding their way through the palace gardens. It was a nice enough day, a mask of calm was nestled on the city below the Palace. Down there in the streets many were doing what the grand lord and Lad were doing, enjoying the time and company of each other, before the dark shadow of war robbed them of their chance. Varris was rounding a corner, his arm entwined with Sarah's each smiling at the conversation and stories of old, when he heard the unmistakable sounds of a person rushing through the paths at a break neck pace. Stopping his and his wife's walk he waited as the sounds neared, soon enough a young Wolf hurried up to the pair, almost crashing into them in his haste. The young Wolf kneeled quickly, "I'm sorry My lord and lady I did not see you there"

A slight smile spread across both of the ruler's faces, "BUt you were looking for me correct" Varris asked the kneeling wolf, who shook his head in conformation "Well then, you have found me. So stand up." Reaching out he helped the young wolf to his feet "Now what is so important it would cause you to be heard and distracted?"

"Sir a ship has been spotted near our east coast by one of our patrols." The young wolf stammered out "It bears the markings of Dracanica sir."

"Why would they send only one ship?" The Grand lord wondered out loud

"Perhaps they came for more than the blood of tomorrow, of their own reasons." The Grand Lady shot back 

"Hm, possibly. Any other news?"

The young wolf bowed slightly "Yes sir, two creatures have been spotted on and around the Dracanica ship, both appear to be draconic in origin."

Both the Grand Lord and the Grand Lady stopped whatever they were doing, a moment passed before Varris spoke up "So the stories of the Dragons across the sea are correct.. Is This information current?"

The Wolf nodded once more "Yes Sir, we just received the Eagle no more than half and hour ago at the most. It is believed that they are on heading to Karis sir."

"That would make the most sense" Varris pondered, "Alright, go and fetch my son, tell his to gather together a contingent of Warden Gaurds, and Ursa, no more than 12 in strength. He is to take them into Karis to greet our guests, he is only to attack of attack, and bring them here. Understood? Good, now go." The wolf bounded off to find the Prince.

Sarin and his guard made their way down the east road, each man was given a horse and the Ursa's had shifted for speed's sake. Within a reasonable time the reached the outer wall of Karis. Breathing deeply Sarin drew in the smell of the ocean and the city that lied before him. Karis is considered the largest eastern port city, the city is set in the back of a small Bay, a Cliff face creating a half circle completed by the Massive sea wall that would greet visitors as the rounded the point, beneath the sea wall sit the docks, on the wall is carved two ornate dragon statues. The city itself was a trading town, it saw people come and go, but like all Lacrian cities it was surprisingly clean, with access to public baths and aqueducts. This was all observed by Sarin and his guard as they made their way through the streets, most people standing to the side of the armed soldiers. The continued unto the docks where Sarin dismounted, to wait for the Dracanica's arrival.
