Two days pass from the time you drop off Asyk at the spot where you ran into the strange motorized wagon and freed your new friend from his captivity. During this down time, you learn from the other captives that they were a part of a wagon caravan that was attacked by the raiding party, and that the others of their party were all killed while they were lucky enough to just be captured. "We all owe you our lives. If it were not for you, who knows what kind of hell we would be in right now? If there is anything that a bunch of humble merchants can do for you, let us know."
It is in the morning of the third day when a messenger sprite comes zooming into the room where Yuumaru is preparing to eat his breakfast. In Asyk's voice, you hear the following message: "I have made contact with the leaders of these people, and they are interested in talking with the Solars and Dragon Blooded of the Orca. You have been promised safe passage to their new city called Gateway. The members of the leadership caste here are searching for a way to restore their Great Maker to full health, and if we are willing to help them, it could help us out in our struggles to reestablish the Solar rule once more. These people are desperate, and are willing to meet to negotiate a truce. If you are willing to do so, come to the place where you dropped me off and I will be there with one of their Exalted to be your guides to Gateway." With that, the sprite vanishes in a puff of smoke.
Mera lets out a snort. "Well, at least the old man is still alive. He doesn't sound like he's in trouble, so I suppose things are going well enough. The question now is, do we go into the lion's den or not?"
