It was Silindrial t hat answered her question. "When Egland inquired of Balazor if there was a way to make him immortal like me and he made it, the three of us set out to explore our world. After all a wizard needs protection at times." She smiled. We traveled quite a bit and helped him explore, and well plunder the tombs of the First Ones. We fought strange beasts and things that guarded them, fended of bandits and others that wanted what we had. Over the years we grew quite close and had a bond between us. When he brought us here he offered us a home. After all the time that we spent out there we felt more at home with Balazor then we did the humans or my fellow elves. Also it keeps us close to our son who is now his apprentice and is becoming a fine wizard himself. But we do go forth and move through the lands of the Elves and Humans, though none know who we really are."<br/><br/>She looked over at the two hobbits who had finally had their fill and had streached out on a couple couches and were fast asleep. She chuckled at the site. "Such wonderful and carefree people the Hobbits. The lands here could use their common sense and sense of desency." She looked at Allassiel, "Take care of them. I have a feeling that Man and Dwarf as well as Elf here will be hearing more about them as the West has already." Egland and Silindreal then lead them out into the garden behind the castle and the open valley behind the tower.<br/><br/>"If I know Balazor he will be heading south to try and deal with Morgan. The foul creature must be rooted out and his evil army sent packing or be destroyed." Egland said. "We will be going with him of course." he grinned. Like Silindrial said, he needs protection even if he doesn't think so.<br/><br/>The Garden was beautiful with paved pathways running ever where. Anything and everything plus things that were unknown in the west lay neatly trimmed and cared for and the air was filled with the many scents of various flowers and plants.
