"Not a smelly earth hermit, try more of a foolish smelly earth hermit." The remark was as much a joke as to say her true feelings. He didn't really smell, nor was he really a hermit from what she could tell. "My name is Gulan. Open the tube and you shall find out more. My master has written a personal message to you. I also suggest you read only one note at a time. He tends to place things in a specific order. Only pull out a note when you feel you need direction most." Patting her own wooden sealed case of notes, she was intending to deliver the message that they were important, even to her.
When Nathan reads the first note, it reads as follows ina very neat script. Some lines seem to crash into other lines of words, but it is all legible and very neat. "Greeting Sir. I apologize for the manner in which I great you, but I have no choice. My name is Kristan, and this is my servant Gulan, as you have just found out but a moment ago. I wished that I didn't have to do this, but your future is of the utmost importance. The girl you travel with might be important as well, keep her protected and near at all times. Follow Gulan till you find someone. You will know her when you meet her. She is the new Queen. You are to protect her with your life, as Gulan will. She is key to the future. No. To our survival."
A seal was seen underneath the writing. It is of the royal Water family. There is no mistaking it for anything else.
As a scribble on the bottom, in letters crammed in, there is a warning: "Do not stay in this cave for much longer. Get moving or the soldiers will be upon you."
As you finish reading the last part, you hear foot falls splashing in the river. Though you are protected from them in the cave for the moment, they could soon find you.

Nathan nodded, spinning his sword. "How do I know I can trust you this 'Kristan' person?" He said, taking Isla's hand and breaking into a jog, passing the rough, grey stone walls. Seeing the light as he turned a corner he spun on his heel and began to race along the wall, looking behind him to make sure the woman was following. He stopped, and unsheathed his sword again. "Isla. Go home and warn the village. Tell them to meet me at the Earth Fortress." Isla nodded and left Nathan, running as fast as she could, towards the village. Running back the way he'd came he grabbed Gulan's hand and ran to the same spot, against the grey stone where he'd left Isla. "Get to the village. Go with the people. I'll hold these scum then escape once the villagers have gotten far enough away." He turned. Dropped into a stance then turned again, "Just go! I don't want to see anyone get hurt!" He growled.
