After some time, they arrive at the beautifully lit village. They are now in the house of FOREST QUAMA CHIEF. UNKNOWN GUARD QUAMA: Here you are. I must return to my post. APOLLO: Thank you. There is a silence. APOLLO waits for FOREST QUAMA CHIEF to speak first. FOREST QUAMA CHEIF: So you’re a Whitlock? APOLLO: Yes. FOREST QUAMA CHIEF: What are you here to talk to me about? APOLLO: I need help in tracking down Enya Rosenberg. I know that your Quamas also wish for her capture, so I ask for your assistance. FOREST QUAMA CHIEF seems to think for a moment. FOREST QUAMA CHIEF: I will lend you help on one condition. The healers of your village must be mentors to some of our kits. We no longer have healers to teach them. APOLLO: We have plenty of healers who would be willing. Once Enya is caught, we will send over a few of our healers. FOREST QUAMA CHIEF: Thank you. Now, what kind of help do you expect me to provide? APOLLO: First, I would like to ask you to write a note to Enya. Tell her you come in peace, and want to meet on Island of Sun, then taint the note with your magic, so she knows it’s you. FOREST QUAMA CHIEF is smiling at this plan. FOREST QUAMA CHIEF: Are you planning to encounter her? APOLLO: Yes. FOREST QUAMA CHIEF: Then I can help you with that as well. I can’t come myself, but I can send you with someone who will prove incredibly helpful. FOREST QUAMA CHIEF leaves the house for a moment, then comes back with another Quama. FOREST QUAMA CHIEF: This is Zenon Hendrix. He is a half breed, part Forest Quama, and part Metal Quama. APOLLO gasps. APOLLO: But wait, aren’t the Metal Quamas extinct? FOREST QUAMA CHIEF: Zenon is the last one, and he is the Forest Quama’s secret. He will be useful on your quest as Metal Quamas can’t be touched by magic. APOLLO: Thank you very much… er, sorry, I never got your name. FOREST QUAMA CHIEF: I am Cypress Vang. Surely your father must have told you about me? APOLLO bows his head. APOLLO: I apologize, I did not remember. CYPRESS: I forgive you. But I also have forgotten to ask something from you. APOLLO: What? CYPRESS: Why do you wish revenge on Enya? She has not wronged the Whitlock family or any Fog Quamas. APOLLO: My half-sister’s mother is of the Isbert family. CYPRESS: I see. There is a pause. ZENON: May I ask, since I am going to be traveling with you, what is your name? APOLLO: Apollo Whitlock. ZENON gasps. ZENON: Your name is in the Scroll of Sun! APOLLO: What is the Scroll of Sun? The guard mentioned my name was in it as well. CYPRESS: That is a secret for the Forest Quamas. APOLLO: Oh, alright. CYPRESS: I will now begin to write the note to Enya. Apollo, as I do so, please inform Zenon what you plan to do. APOLLO: Of course. APOLLO and ZENON walk out of CYPRESS’S house.
