-- Donar Darkwind was heading there as well, but he encountered unforeseen difficulties along the way, so I was significantly delayed.
-Have you never been to Idaniko before? - Enkhador asked. -I think the city is not far now.
-- Really? Thank you, that's very good news. I would really like to go there immediately, but there are a few reasons why I won't. First, I saw a large storm coming from the mountains. It's better to wait it out, no matter how much I want to get to Idaniko as soon as possible. Second, I need to wait for the innkeeper. It's unclear where he is; I need to make sure everything is okay and also pay for the stay.

Sylv looked around himself.
-- Maybe. It seems to me that there are many people there. There are probably other rooms there.
--Two days. When I arrived here, he was already gone. As I understand it, he is not only the owner of the house but also a ferryman. Down there, I found a boat, hidden behind the rocks. I think that in the summer, he uses it to transport travelers to the other side for a fee. There is one more thing: there is absolutely no food in the house, and my supplies are running low; I only have one piece of bread left. However, there are now two of us, and I doubt that this will be a problem for us; we will figure something out.
-- Maybe we should try using a lever? -- suggested the animal lover.

-- Thank you... In that case, I should act as quickly as possible, considering the storm, -- Donar paused for a moment. -- It's a bit strange that you're leaving the city when everyone else is going there!
-- Thank you... In that case, I should act as quickly as possible, given the storm, -- Donar paused for a moment. -- It's a bit strange that you're leaving the city when everyone else is going in!
-- There's a lot that seems suspicious. First, the Northern Lights. I understand that it's normal here, but still... I can't explain it, but something about it feels off. Second, there are mechanical sounds coming from behind the mountains. That's not entirely normal in the land of mages. Third, there's clearly some large animal living in the river; I saw it at night, or rather, its outline. All of this might not mean anything, but I noted it just in case.
"This is very interesting. We need to investigate everything."
-You know, this could actually be important. The thing is, people often disappear in these areas, and what you said about a large creature inhabiting these waters could very well be the reason.
"That's very interesting. We need to investigate this further."
-- So, the owner of this house isn't the first one? To be honest, I really wouldn't want to get delayed again; I'm already taking too long to get to Idaniko. But I'm afraid I won't have a choice.
-- Maybe we should try using a lever? -- suggested the animal lover.
