He had only just arrived in Crocus when a man approached him. Once he was close enough, Kaz could see the rune knight badge.
"Captain," the man addressed him. Kaz knew he could trust him as so few people knew about the recent promotion. The man simply handed Kaz a sealed letter and walked away. Reading the letter revealed grim details. Kaz folded it up and slid it into his pocket. With a brief word to the team of knights, he came with, Kaz whistled for his griffon.
It would be cutting it close but this was an urgent matter. Kaz took to the skies and flew off. Withing the letter was nothing more than some directions. The griffon beat its wings hard spurring their travel to worth woodsea. The place where it would all happen. He decided not to take the people he came with for only one reason. The letter mentioned lethal force. And he would not want to put them through that.
After some time, the sea of trees appeared and he was almost on his destination. There was a silence that had come over the trees. It was an eerie sight. But Kaz flew overhead without wavering.
Soon there was a small flicker on the ground level. Kaz flew down and just as the letter had said, there was a man standing there waiting for him. No doubt this was the informant. With a quick exchange, the man gestured for Kaz to follow him. The griffon flew overhead as the guide led him deeper into the woods without many words to go on. It may have been trusting of Kaz but if the letter was as urgent as it seemed. The risk was the only route to take.
