It is you.” Comes a happy voice with a thick Aundarian accent.  Mania turns and sees a tall graceful elf dressed in emerald thin glowing gown with a headpiece containing several blue and purple feathers.   Obviously she has hung out with the gnomes too long.“Professor Ezmarilda Flowfeau, I would like to introduce you to a friend of mine- Mania.”  Mania is uncertain but she seems to hesitate greeting him.  “Mania…. Such a strange name.”“Its what I answer to.”  The two smile and remain pleasant to each other but it is obvious that neither seem to comfortable with the other.“You said something about a Prophecy.   You do know most of these prophecies are made-up and false.”“As you said-  Most.” Says Mania then he shuts up as Leeya steps on his foot.“Yes but I am curious still.  It had a strange phrase or two and I thought maybe with your studies you have heard of it or know something about it.”“Go on.” Offers the elf.“Day of Nines.”“What  a bizarre and obviously unlikely name for a prankster’s creation.”Mania instantly knows she is hiding something.  Leeya is too caught off guard at a blatant disbelief.  “The ‘Day of Nines’ may refer to the murder of the Nine Brothers in the area now known as Q’Barra.  There were three of them, Marck, Jonesy and Finch.  They were pirates that were killed by a rival group from an island in the Lhazaar Principalities.  I believe it was around 675…. Maybe 678.”“Did they ever travel beyond that area?” Leeya asks hopefully finding something of meaning.“No.  They stayed close to the coast.”“Khorvaire’s coast?    What about other coast lines?” asks Mania.“Other coasts?  No.  No I don’t believe so.”“So they never traveled to Argonnessen?”“No.”“The term ‘Dragon’s Fear’ was used.   I thought maybe the brothers fought a dragon then.”“REALLY !  You should know better than this.  Forget about the Nines and the Dragon Fear.   It is merely stories told to frighten children.” Dragon Fear…. Not Dragon’s Fear  wonders Mania.“I’m sorry Ezmarilda.  I didn’t mean to insult you.”“You would do better to not hang out with these…. Ruffians, You are a noble’s daughter.”“Ah-Hey Look lady-“ Begins Mania……“She means Dura.  I have overheard her speak poorly of Kim.   ‘always meddling in things he could never understand’ was the usual line. I am sorry.  I should not have bothered you.  Have a good day.” And Leeya takes Mania’s hand and pulls him along Once out of the direct sunlight he easily stops her.“What was that all about?”“She seems to not want us to look into this ‘Day of Nines’.”“and…?”“Let’s go back and pack.”Mania watches her storm away helplessly.  Surrendering he whispers- “We don’t even know where we are going.”</blockquote>
