Glaedr set down, in front of Oromis's home. Katrina jumped off and called, "Father, I have brought that which you asked of me." She pulled out a small silk package from inside her kimono. "Katy, why do you insist on wearing those dresses when you could be as beautiful as the queen in some of our garments?" Oromis asked. "Because they're comfortable!" Katrina replied. She smiled and leapt atop of glaedr, "Could you take us to the queen please?" He nodded and took off.

"Hold onto me, he's going to have to do some twisting to get around these trees." Katrina said to Zarek.

"I know the way" he replied slyly. He had seen it through Hetsui's memories when the Great Bear had come through here once. "Race you there." he said and jumped off into a giant wind that carried him quikly through the trees.

"Zarek wait up!" She leapt off of glaedr and raced to catch up with the Kull laughing as he slowed so she could catch him and running away just as she came near. By the time she caught up to him they were at Islandzi's Palace.

"We should go right in, she's expecting...um...me and Hetsui."

<Hetsui, what did you do here last time you were here...>
<You shall see young shaman> he replied chuckling
Together they all walked into the Palace, Zarek' lending some power to make Hetsui visible to all

katrina tried not to let her nervousness show, she had been sent on a quest and brought back the dead spirit as a result, Islandzi might not be pleased. Bowing in the proper way, she said the proper things, then said to her queen, "Oh queen, I sought what you asked and brought you the spirit of the great bear Hetsui, carried within this Kull Zarek'."

She paused and waited to see what Islandzi would say.

Islandzi stood; "Katrina, dearest, you fear that you have failed me? You have not. This is precisely what I wanted, a way to form an alliance with more people. Greetings Zarek' and Hetsui. I searched for Hetsui's wisdom, and when he comes he brings me the answer to all of mine problems. I wish to form an alliance with more, humans, urgals and dwarves. That is your task, and Katrina, your duty to your queen."

OOC: I was hoping someone else would jump in but all well, here we are. It's kinda the pre-quel to "Urgal Attack". I once again don't know where to go with this next.

''you are to go to surda tomorrow'' ,said the queen. ''i wish for you to form an alliance with the humans first, as they will be our most important allys.'' ''but why must it be me?'' ,katrina asked ''because i beleive you're the one to do it correctly. i will send 4 men to travel with and protect you.'' ''thank you queen. i am proud you chose me and not another''
