 Scott was lying on his bed, staring out his window. Scott had cyan hair, icy blue eyes, pale skin, elf ears, and huge owl wings that he can summon and hide when he wants. He was wearing royal Rivendell armor even though he wasn't doing anything special today.

Scott was thinking about when he and Katherine first met. Why did my parents not want me outside? Scott thought. Oh, that's right. Xornoth left when I was four. But what does that have to do with it? What happened the day he left. I just remember hearing shouting, him hugging me and giving me a ring, and leaving. A trail of fire that was left everywhere he stepped. Scott sat up. The thought of his brother was bothering him.

Scott walked outside his room and went on a search for Lumi, his houseworker.

"Lumi! Lumi!" Scott shouted across the palace.

Scott almost ran straight into Lumi when he turned the corner.

"Ah!" Scott stumbled backwards.

Lumi caught him before he hit the ground. "You called, sir?"

Scott stood up, "I told you; you don't need to call me sir."

Lumi bowed, "My apologizes, Scott."

"What's up with you today? You're acting different."

"You don't remember? Your father has a meeting with Emperor Wren of the Lost Empire."

"Why?"

"They're making a trade and your father is hoping it to go peaceful, but we haven't been peaceful with their empire since Xornoth ran away and ended up dating Joey."

Scott looked to the ground.

Lumi started to walk away.

"Wait! Do you know why Xornoth left?"

Lumi stopped in her tracks and took a deep breath. "I... do remember when your brother left. Xornoth was a fine fellow, but he seemed different. I noticed and asked him about it. He said that something was calling him, and he wanted to leave to find it. I told him to follow his heart, and then he left later that night. Saying that he was going to find the voice. Your parents tried to stop him, but he shouted at them, saying that he was going to find his purpose in life. And then he ran off into the darkness."

"Oh..." Scott trailed off.

"Why do you ask?" Lumi asked.

"Just wondering..."

Lumi gave Scott a confused look but then said, "Do you need anything else sir?"

"Stop calling me sir! It feels weird!"

Lumi and Scott started laughing but then fell into silence.

"Okay, well... I'm going to Katherine's. Tell mum and dad for me, bye!"

"Have fun!" Lumi called after Scott.

Scott ran out and started flying for Katherine's.

He landed and saw Katherine talking to a boy he has never seen before. The boy had a cod head on, so Scott assumed the boy was the Cod Father. The Prince of the Cod Empire.

"Hey Scott!" Katherine said, waving at Scott.

Scott waved back and walked over to them.

"Jimmy, Scott. Scott, Jimmy." Katherine introduced them to each other.
