Two days would pass since the mysterious island adventure as nothing note worthy has happened. No new heroes have appeared and the Abyss has not made any noteworthy moves.

With that said, Lucius finds himself near the Scions of the Canopy having just finished a commission. He was alone as Paimon decided to sleep in for the day, which he respected.

Along his way, he is suddenly approaches by two kids, Huni and Toba.

Huni: Hi! I'm Huni, are you here to help find the baby Saurians?

Toba: And I'm Toba. You must be the helper that we've been waiting for!

Lucius: Uh, hello there. I was actually just passing through. 

Huni: But Uncle Sanka said he was gonna send some of his friends over to help us... You sure he didn't mean you?

Lucius: I don't know anyone called Sanka.

Huni: Darn it! We've been tricked, Huni! I should've known that glasses guy was a con artist...

Toba: What are we supposed to do about the baby Saurians now? Time's running out...

Lucius: Hey, hey, just calm down and tell me what happened with the baby Saurians.

Huni: There's been a lot of unrest in the tribe lately, and my dad's Saurian got injured... Her name's Nanna, and she has three little babies. After what happened to Nanna, her babies were so scared that they ran off and hid. I'm really worried about them, so I decided to go look for them.

Lucius: Wait, why isn't your dad looking for them?

Huni: My dad's one of the elders, so he's busy getting ready for Turnfire Night. It's a really important ceremony — more important than this, anyway. I'm not supposed to be out here either, but I snuck out without telling him... I didn't think it would take very long. But then that guy we ran into made us tell him loads of stories, and it wasted so much time...

Toba: Yeah, he was so selfish! He doesn't have a heart!

Lucius: Well, forget about him for now and focus on the baby Saurians. Are they nearby?

Huni: They should be! I already managed to find their tracks, and it seems like they're hiding on the cliff...

Lucius: Leave it to me. I won't take long.

Huni: Really? Wow! Thank you so much uh... what's your name?

Lucius: It's Lucius.

Huni: Thank you so much, Mr. Lucius!

Toba: You gotta be careful out on the cliffs, though. They're really steep. Even grown-ups have trouble climbing them.

Lucius: Who says I'm climbing?

Toba: Huh?

Lucius crouches down as wind begins to pick up around him.

Toba: Are you gonna-

Lucius: Humph!

He jumps up high into the air, boosted by Anemo, surprising Huni and Toba.

Toba: Woah! I wanna do that!

.

Lucius: Woop!

Lucius yelps as he lands on the top of the cliff, spotting a baby Yumkasaurus with Ajaw of all things.
