He knew of many different types of nymphs, but had never seen one before. He bowed deeply.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: decorative;">"So, your name is Rosalind. You are the first nymph that I have had the keen pleasure of seeing. It seems that the tales of woodland women beautiful enough to steal your breath away was not exaggerated. You are as lovely as a flower in bloom."</span>He smiled his most dazzling smile.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: decorative;">"I seek any little-known knowledge, really, but dragons are one of my areas of study."</span>His pupils narrowed like those of a cat's for a moment before returning back to normal.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: decorative;">"I am part dragon myself, my father was an elf, but my mother was a dragon taking the form of an elf. I have inherited only the barest pieces of her powers, but I have been trained by the Dragon Monks of the Gold Jade Sky Islands. Dragons I already know of. Now, I seek knowledge of forbidden plants, of lost magics, of dangerous creatures, of forgotten artifacts, of tunes and songs that make stones weep, light ice on fire, still storms, or rouse the dead to heroic action, of tales and realities of dangerous beauty. Thus, I find my path leading me to Sona. I search, I hunt, I lust for knowledge."</span>As he talked, he grew more animated, until at the end he was firing forth each word with fiery passion that echoed through the forest.<br/><br/>He fell silent for a moment, then looked up at the nymph, eyes glittering even more than before.<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: decorative;">"Would you be willing to share any interesting knowledge? I offer one favour of your choosing in exchange for any information that you might share: with the favour being equal to the knowledge provided."</span>
