Erik looked up from his shopping to watch the crystal in the corner. The
sphere was chattering on about some big-wig hob-nob and some gate crasher
that announced a quest. He was just about to return to his purchases when he
almost dropped the rare phong charm he was holding. Turning to the toothless
old shopkeeper he demanded "Did he just say 'Isle of mists'?". The wrinkled
grandame simply nodded, continuing to watch the news. Erik shook his head in
bewilderment. It was too much of a conicidence that he should hear of this
old legend again so soon after his strange voyage from Nihon. Surely of all
places he could not have landed there... but... if he had, he knew some very
important things. Putting the phong down he left the store quickly and came
to a sudden stop in the street. Who to tell?
