As Fred prepared to free Astra from her chains, he heard the sound of
somehting in the darkness. He turned around slowly and tried to make out
what was making the noise. He saw the dim outline of a figure coming
through the darkness, a short human figure. Then, the man who was coming waved his hand and a magic light appeared. Fred saw the man's face. It was very familiar. The new arrival was about 15, short and wiry with blond hair, wearing the robes of an apprentice mage. "Jarlath!" said Fred, a little startled. "What on Earth are you doing here?" "Who's that?" Astra asked. "My younger brother. I thought he was back studying magic in the tower of Ixion or whatever it was called." "I'm supposed to be," said Jarlath, "but when you started your quest I did a background check on Minestus, the Dragon of the Southern Caves, and found out that he's a magician. A warrior alone can't stop it. You need magical help. I teleported over here from Ilxior through its magic gate." "You're going to be in deep trouble," said Fred. "I know," said Jarlath. "But it'll probably be okay with the authorities, because I came out to help you. And I can't teleport back to Ilxior. You don't have any other choice but to let me come along."
