A few hours ago and the sailors had shouted the blessed words. “Land!” Imast was delighted that their long journey was finally at an end. But still, a grim expression was painted on his face. He was standing on deck, next to the White Dragon, Hurricana. She was the female of the White Dragons. Restless like Imast. The trip must have been gruesome for her, he thought. For weeks she had to remain still on deck. Six days of seven she was fed fish, and only one day meat. She could only stretch her incredibly massive wings when they made port. The last time that happened has been two weeks ago.

Imast himself was being prepared. With him the other five Templars were being helped into their armor. They already wore their leather outfit. First a layer of chainmail was put on. Above that, a heavy plate armor that covered as much as possible. The chest piece was in the form of a dragon spanning open its wings. On the sides of each helmet a dragon wing could be seen. The metal was polished steel and shined in the afternoon light. Squires were helping them. Then a chest appeared from beneath deck, carried by two squires. It was opened by Imast. Inside there were 3 blades, 2 axes and a massive bastard sword. Each were made of pearl white metal. Imast picked up a weapon at the time and gave it to a Templar. Finally he took his own sword and said: “These weapons are Dragon-Forged. They are harder than stone. Sharper than obsidian. Use them wisely.” Each Templar bowed and said. “Wisdom. Power. Justice. Holiness.” The Code of the Templars.

Then Anita come from the quarters at the rear of the deck. She wore a beautiful green silk dress, embroiled with many rubies. A tear was placed on hear head. In her long, golden hair. It was made of silver. On top of it was a dragon, holding a ruby. She looked beautiful in the eyes of all the men. Behind her came her servants. Carrying a little chest in their arms. A gift for the rulers of Lacria. Insade was a little dagger. It was Dragon-Forged but unlike the other Dragon-Forged weapons it was ornate. The cross guard was in the form the wings of a dragon and the pummel was a sapphire. For the wife of the ruler there was a jeweled necklace. A simple golden chain with several pearls on it and in the center a deep green emerald. But on the necklace there was no Dragon-Forged metal.

The sails where pulled up, making way for Hurricana. Imast and one of the Templars, the one with the bastard sword, mounted her. They were a few miles outside of the port but Oceanus already made anchor. “I will watch over you from the sky, my lady.” Imast said. Anita blessed him with a gentle smile. They have grown fond of each other over the years. Hurricana lifted from the ship and started flying high up in the air.

She herself however took place in a little boat that was lowered onto the water. Several thick ropes that were attached to the boat laid in the water. Attached to Aquarius, the blue Water Dragon. With her several servants came and the 4 other Templars. They were roughly the same size and all their armors where the same. It would be difficult to tell them apart from each other.

Eventually the boat was pulled forward by Aquarius. In half an hour they began to enter the port. Hurricana was still high above them. Finally they stopped at a pier. Lady Anita stepped out of the boat and announced herself. “I am Lady Anita of Dracanica. I have come to speak to your leaders.” She said. The Templars were getting on the pier and Aquarius his head was lifted above the water, looking around curiously.
