*???: Ah, I never thought you would really show up! A person neither Deva nor Morokai…
*???: I never imagined I would be able to meet someone such as yourself, but then there’s Ezra as well…
*???: Haile and Korzan went looking for you when you didn’t show up. 
*???: But seeing as you're here alone, you must have missed them.
*???: Well, you must be . We’ve been expecting you… I suppose.
*???: Allow me to introduce myself…
*Avani: I am Avani, Chieftain of the clan Rih’alnase, the Children of the Wind!
*Avani: We have chosen not to involve ourselves in this senseless war and bloodshed
*Avani: and welcome those who share the same sentiments of freedom and peace.
*Avani: I have heard good things about you from Haile and Korzan. 
*Avani: To have received such praise from people like them, you must be quite the talented person!
*Avani: I am curious to see what surprises you have in store for me as well…
*Avani: And before I forget, allow me to thank you for the assistance you have already rendered.
*Avani: This debt will not be forgotten. Any friend of my family is a friend of mine. 
*Avani: Pardon me , but before we proceed I have a question…
*Avani: I’m sorry, but I can’t help noticing you look a little worse for wear. Something must have transpired* on your way here.
*Avani: Care to share what happened on your way here?
 	
*Avani: That cheeky young lady... how many times have I told her not to run off on her own! *Sigh*
*Avani: I hope you know that she was lying to you. A terrible liar she might be, but she is a smart lass.
*Avani: She knew that we would be out looking for you and took the opportunity to sneak out.
*Avani: I believe she intends to accomplish the task we originally hoped you would help us with by herself.
*Avani: So now on top of the original mission, we must search for her as well…
 	
*Avani: Let me bring you up to date about our current situation.
*Avani: Just a week ago, a sandstorm unlike any other appeared to the north of this village. 
*Avani: While such storms are not uncommon here, they never usually last more than a few days.
*Avani: According to our mage Allanon, he detected traces of dark magic used to artificially create the storm.
*Avani: And it seems that something about this dark magic troubles him greatly.
 	
*Avani: He’s an unusually chirpy fellow who goofs around most of the time. Never have I seen him so upset about anything else.
*Avani: Two days ago he and little Nyami, our best scout, departed for the sacred city of Ostagoth. 
*Avani: He thought that perhaps they could find some answers to this riddle there.
 	
*Avani: But before Allanon left, he warned us not to approach the storm no matter the circumstances.
*Avani: And I have no reason to doubt his judgment... Regarding matters of the arcane, his knowledge dwarfs that of Haile’s. *
*Avani: But that is something I simply cannot do. 
*Avani: Before the storm struck, I sent a small group of outriders to survey the land up north.
 	
*Avani: It is home to a powerful beast... A prize I had set my sights on.
*Avani: However, they have yet to return…
*Avani:
 	
*Avani: My outriders are not incompetent novices, nor easy prey to the beasts of the badlands. 
*Avani: They must have been caught in the sandstorm and trapped in there. 
*Avani: I will not stand back and do nothing while my people are still out there waiting to be rescued.
 	
*Avani: This is why Ezra is on her way there now as we speak—to save them. I must find her before she gets there…
*Avani: ...and bring my people back, no matter what dangers lie ahead.
 	
*Avani: , this could be something I cannot handle alone. But I refuse to put any more of my clansmen’s lives at risk.
*Avani: Both Haile and Korzan seem to have high opinions about your ability and strength. 
*Avani: This might seem a trivial matter to you but… please, won’t you lend me your strength?
*Avani: Help me save my family!
 	
*Avani: You will? I cannot thank you enough! Rih’alnase shall forever be in your debt.
 	
*Avani: You’ve helped us once before, and now we’ve come to rely on your help once more. We are eternally grateful to you. 
*Avani: Well, without further ado, let us be on our way. 
*Avani: I believe finding Haile and Korzan will not prove to be such a difficult task. Their bickering can be heard from a mile away!
 	
*Avani: But I do hope that they’re all safe out there…
