Kaya had hardly time to talk with Brisa about what happened to the village. First Argurios bashed on the door and after that, many more children popped up rapidly after each other. Like someone had drawn a magic sign on the door that attracted them. Kaya recognized all the children that came through the door even though she might have talked to some only once. The first one was Thovren, the militia captain's son. The apprentice bard did not know much about the young man but she had seen him on a few occasions listening to her play from a distance. It was almost like he's a little shy to come closer. None the less the militia boy asked if Kaya was alright. A sign of a true gentlemen. Kaya bowed lightly and smiled. "I am fine. Thank you for your concern, Thovren". Kaya took a quick look at Thovren and noticed that he pretended to be a bit calmer then he truly was. 

Kaya had not much time to think about it because the next visitor entered the house. It was the human boy named Dakin. Kaya had heard stories how the boy was always following Dorn, a beast of a man around in the woods. He was looking for the old hag but just like Kaya would not find her. Just another apprentice that seemed to be left behind. Atrus was the next to appear. He did it in a matter that made Kaya almost forget about how Thorven and Agurios entered the house. The scream of pain was so loud and intense that it sended shivers down the spine of the young girl. Whatever that boy was doing, Kaya wanted no part in it. 

For a moment Kaya listened to all the chatter around her. All the children were still in the hallway and talking to each other. Some interesting facts where mindlessly slipped by Brisa as the young girl talked about the charms and potions that Autry, Altus and Brisa herself where involved in. Quickly Kaya started to put the pieces of the puzzle together in her mind. Next to all the villagers some persons of special interest disappeared too. Autry the village herbalist who came to the village 20 years ago. There was no doubt in Kaya's mind that she possessed magical abilities. It was the same story with Dorn. He also appeared one day to more or less settle himself in the village and teached his adopted son all about the mysticisms of nature and wildlife. Serath Trannyth, a former mercenary who settled in the village to raise his son. Argurios father served in an orcisch army and Aeden Mirrets came out of nowhere to play songs so beautiful that you could only hear in the throne room of kings. It was not a coincidence that children with a connection to persons with a past in adventuring where the only ones left behind.

Kaya followed the group into Autry's study. Her mind was on the events of the evening, going over every single fact she knew so far. For Kaya, the whole situation was equally exciting as it was terrifying. She was worried about the fate of her parents, Aeden and fellow villagers but realized that a great adventure lies ahead. An adventure that she would not go on alone. Before the girl took her seat in the study she took a small moment to introduce herself. "I am Kaya, Kaya Gheine. I'm pretty sure most of you have seen, or at least heard me play once or twice. " said the girl as she looked around. Even though the situation was dire and the group of people around her mostly strangers, Kaya felt confident and calm being the first one to properly introduce herself and take the lead in the conversation that was to come. "I am glad to see that at least some of us are save. I don't have much of a clue about what happened but I looks like our family, friends and neighbors have vanished into thin air and we're the only ones left. Somehow I don't think it a coincidence that it happens to be the six of us that are gathered here." Kaya paused for a moment to see how everybody would respond to her words.
