With that, Duke Borric organized a party to travel to the Kingdom capital of Rillanon, to inform the King of a possible alien invasion.ĭuring their journey through the forest, they were waylaid by bands of moredhel, the evil kin to the elves of Elvandar. What they told him was even more distressing: strange people were sighted in the forest, mapping the area around Crydee, and disappeared without leaving tracks. The elves came, headed by their queen Aglaranna and her son, Calin, the Warleader of the elves. In need of council, he send messages to hold a discussion with the elves from the nearby forest of Elvandar. Once they pieced everything they knew, Duke Borric decided that alien beings from another world could access Midkemia, and could appear again. As Kulgan explained it, the message was crafted by a magician from the ship, in order to bear a message back to his colleagues from wherever they came from.

Hands reached from the other side of the rift, and was attempting to pull Kulgan through, when Pug threw a spear through, and the rift closed. A magical scroll obtained from the ship stunned Kulgan, and opened a rift, a gateway through worlds. A piece of pottery liberated from the ship appeared to be made of laminated wood, as is the alien's sword and armor. As he explained, the survivor was a Tsurani, from a place far hotter, with a green sun, and an empire with a standing army of hundreds of thousands, far larger than any known empire in this world. Using a form of telepathy, Father Tully entered the mind of the survivor and gleaned some information before he died. While on the beach, they discovered a survivor, who spoke a language unknown to them, and collapsed in terror as horsemen from the castle arrived. Pug and Tomas, being first on the scene, managed to enter the ship and liberated a few items before the tide reclaimed the wreckage. When the excitement wore off, another presented itself, in the form of an alien vessel shipwrecked on Crydee's shores. Pug's deed concerned Kulgan, however, as traditionally, magicians could not simply cast spells out of thin air, but requiring an external focus, musing that Pug had probably found a new form of magic. For his deed, he was awarded the rank of squire, as well as the adoration of the Princess. When they reached home, Pug became an instant celebrity. While Pug managed to get both trolls to chase him, he was unable to escape, and moments away from danger, he casted his first spell involuntarily, and killed both trolls.

Unfortunately, the duo encountered wild trolls, with their horses beyond reach. To help clear his head and cheer him up, Kulgan arranged for Pug to accompany the Princess Carline to go horseriding. As Kulgan and Father Tully speculated, Pug appeared to possess the ability, and he could grasp the theories of magic, but performing actual magic was more difficult. While other boys, including his best friend Tomas, were chosen, Pug remained the only person not chosen, until Kulgan stepped in, saying that he had a need for an apprentice.Īs time went by, Pug grew increasingly frustrated by his lack of progress in his magical studies. Presiding over the events were the ruling noble of Crydee, the Duke Borric, and his children, Lyam, Arutha, and Carline. During their conversation, Pug was handed a crystal ball for scrying, to which he is able to activate and view Castle Crydee, much to Kulgan's surprise.ĭays later, it was the time of the Choosing, where boys of age were to be chosen by various craft-masters as apprentices. He was saved by Meecham, a franklin, who brought him indoors, into the home of the Duke's magician and adviser, Kulgan.
