Uses some of the clues to write the story. Titania was away on a trip for almost a month, on a little island known as Calidis. The mysterious island was located further west of Alveus, isolated from the rest by its dangerous sheer cliffs and rugged sea. Rumour had it that a temple was found, a few mile along the river from the port of the island. Being her curious self, she immediately jumps to join in the excursion when she was offered to. She was looking forward to see the Temple of Ashen but little does she knows, the journey was more than meets the eye.

She thought that she would be able to pay a visit to the Black Market on the last night of its visit. It had been awhile since she last saw Alethin and his mysterious ware of exclusive eggs. Alethin had never fail to amuse her, his wares were different every full moon. No one knows how he could get hold of such rare eggs to sell. However, when she reached The Keep, she was met with disappointment. The air was filled with silent murmur of the news that Alethin was finally caught. His cart was tightly locked and some said they even saw Adela slithering alone, a torned note around her neck. Titania always know that Alethin was crafty so he wouldn’t be that careless and let slip his location. Someone or something must have lead to his capture.
Apparently he was caught for doing something illegal.. Something to do with love potions. Where he gets his hands on that, is yet another mystery.
“Are you up for a walk?” Titania asked, glancing over to her light raiju pup who was busy wrestling with the ghost leopard kittens. Ara looked up, perked at the mentioned of a walk. The little raiju didn’t have a chance to go out...not ever since Titania was away on her trip so practically she immediately jumped at the chance. “Know you would be up for it. Let’s go.” She beckoned, slinging her satchel over her shoulder and left her room, Ara trailing rambunctiously behind her.
Titania didn’t know how she could remember the route to the clearing where Alethin usually set up his wares but somehow she always do. It was like the route has already been embedded into her mind. She could navigate easily through the winding vast forest without getting lost. Ara bounced ahead of her with delight, trying to chase whatever creatures that came across their path; like the avrael or even Lunestre Dragon that was fluttering around. Titania couldn’t help but smile at her antics.
The bushes parted and the pair emerged, into a clearing in the forest. Titania didn’t think it would still be there especially in broad daylight but there it was, the enormous wagon that Alethin always travel with. Without any hesitation, Ara bounced over to the cart with delight, sniffing at the wheels when she reached there. Behind her, Titania slowly trod over. She quickened her steps when she saw Ara was barking for her attention, tail wagging excitedly while trying to grab onto whatever it was hidden beneath the wheel.
“What do we have here?” She murmured, going down on all four and peeked. Sure enough, there was a piece of parchment. Titania reached out and grab onto it.
Although most of ink has been smudged off, she could still make out the remaining words.
“Planning escape…. Someone figured out...route… reaching out to all my…..may lay low for a while” She read. Her eyebrow arched but say no more and pocketed the piece of parchment.
