[Drayden Calamyr]

---

By the standards of the Moonglow populace, it was late evening. He made not a sound as he crept up to the
fence that surrounded the city. Drayden took a knee in the shadow of a large tree. This position gave him an
excellent view of the more well traveled parts of Moonglow. Not far away from him was the bank where a large
number of mounted people milled.
The drow drew out his spyglass, watching them intently for a few moments. Odd. This wasn't the military regulars
that he was expecting. Most of them were well armed, but there were only a few that were heavily armored.

Asses the threat Drayden...
Remember, your Matron only wants information. She would be most displeased if the humans
down there captured you...
He stopped then, for the voice in his head was not his own. He remembered that voice, the one who had him branded.
Drayden's eyes quickly returned his gaze to the gathering before him. From his vantage point he easily counted half a
dozen. But there could easily be more patrolling around the city. After the group spoke to each other for a few moments,
they seemed to scatter.
You need to get closer...do it now while they are away.
The voice again...he hoped it would go away if he ignored it. But it did have a point...
Drayden quickly hopped the fence and slipped into the shadows, moving silently towards a quiet corner near the armory.
The streets were deserted so his progress was not impeded at all. He froze then and crouched behind some bushes. The
steady drum of hoofbeats could be heard coming down the street. Peeking through the bushes, he noticed a large armed
man pass by on patrol.
Those are the colors of the Moonglow Town Council...are they at war?
Drayden thought to himself as the uniformed man passed. He definitely recognized the uniform from up close. From the
battle of Minoc and a few other encounters long ago.

You are Drow Drayden. This is what you are meant to do...

That damned voice. Go away. He sat down and got comfortable for a long boring night of watching.
