<div align="center"><em>And so it Begins</em></div><br/><strong>Terellen, Minbari Federation Colony World, Anla-Shok outpost Fak</strong><br/>The hour was late, with a mild rainstorm outside slowly growing in strength and promising to become a heavy rainstorm within an hour or two.

He is also a handsome bastard who is very much a warrior at the core, and who is perhaps a bit bemused by the presence of Non-Minbari at the base.<br/>"Friend Firell. I hope you are well."<br/>Firell, Shakiri and Mandy had been invited to Feliss' quarters and four glasses of spicy and aromatic tea as well as a serving of sweet cakes rested on the table before them.<br/>"Are you ready for a new assignment?"
