After he stopped by to check how Cletus was fairing, Magnus went to his friend's house to see how he was doing. He entered the Red Dragon Inn and found his friend's room empty. There was a note attached to the back of the door. It read: "To Magnus or Cletus, whomever may enter. I am in the forests near the ore mines, come see me there....Ant"
Ant had recently traveled from Polaris to Rhydin. He then came down with an illness. Magnus went to the forests, stopped by his cabin, then went on to the ore mines. It was growing dark. Magnus heard noise, one was Ant's voice, but he couldn't make out the other. He advanced a little further. He saw two figueres setting up some type of construction. He peered closer to find a familiar face.

"M..Metrina?"
"Aye, its me. Been a while, has it not?"
"Aye, it has been." Magnus turned to Ant. "When did she get here?"
Ant replied, "This morning. She asked me to help her set up a cabin in the woods. You know how elves like to live around the woods."
"Aye, I do," Replied Magnus. "Metrina, what brings ye to Rhydin, eh?"
"My father passed on.... Ant heard and offered to further my training of the sword. I graciously accepted."

Magnus helped them finish setting up the cabin. Magnus then told the two to start a fire. He departed and came back with meat. They ate a meal and talked. Magnus learned of some new news in Polaris and such.

"Well...I guess I should be off and tell Cletus that ye are here. He should be well by tomorrow. Ifn ye need anythin, jus' ask."

Magnus then left to go see Cletus.
