"Look!" said Dust, and he flittered in front of Chariot's face. "Below us! There's a Werecain and a Ferrikoon out there!"
Chariot's eyes fell far, gazing off into the murk, trying desperately to focus in on a faint azure haze he saw moving through the dark.
"...I am..." he heard someone calling back. The voice stirred something within Chariot.
"The compulsion...!" he said softly. "..Dust, I think that that voice I heard--the girl--I believe I may have come here to--"
"Oh, look! Visitors!" Dust interrupted him.
Indeed, up from up the dark, a most unusually brightly-colored pair of individuals came. Mounted on the back of a Werecain was indeed the Ferrikoon Dust had mentioned--both very vibrant, white and striped, in contrast to the cave. Their reflections, and those of the Ferrikoon's torch, glinted in the crystal.
The tingling Chariot felt in his hooves and heart flared up as the Ferrikoon approached them. He extended his nose as he peered at her.
"...Hello," he said, slowly and curiously.
"Hey," Dust said.
"You... you have a strange... There's a funny..." His Aftersight touched him. He felt the traces of finery in her past, and a touch of strife.
"You come from a life of luxury," he said finally. But he looked up, seeking the blue glow. "Did you... did you pass anyone blue through here? I think... I feel..."
"Introductions?" Dust looked slyly at him.
"Sorry," he said. "My name is Chariot. I am... Well, I don't suppose that's inmportant right now. Think of me as a historian, if you will. And I think... I think I'm looking for someone."
