Pete usually did not like being away from the twins for too long. It seemed that they got jealous if Jack stayed away too long. They never really had gotten the idea of sharing it seemed. So that meant Pete had to keep this meeting short and sweet. He needed to pack for the trip. He already had his sword but he would need to pack his books. The Twins needed their saddle and a few other things. He really  could not just drop anything and leave. His father would have called this Pete's Call to Adventure. That was why he had to go. The drought had even affected the mountains since most of the food was imported from the grasslands. Also the drought had affected the mountain streams which affected the game which affected the dragons. So honestly Pete had to go. There also was the fact that a Two-headed dragon would be needed for something like this. 

"I can't watch my home village starve to death so I am in. Course I have never left the island so this will be interesting." Pete said as he pulled out his leather journal and started to write in it. He was currently writing about the different riders. He figured he would need to know as much as he could.
