If there was a direction Tal knew better than almost anyone, it was out of the Palace, and he quickly caught up to Finn and trotted along beside him as he asked his question. The ex-Spyglass wasn't the only one to perk up under the brilliant blue Leafchange sky, and Tal exhaled a quiet breath of relief to be out in the open again.
"Huh. Heavy stuff." Tal was impressed in spite of himself. "I kinda heard about the relics from rumors an' stuff, but what makes 'em so important, anyways?" A large red malamute-like dog came trotting up from where she'd been waiting outside the palace doors, pressing her nose into Tal's hand and demanding scratches with a wagging tail. A pale dragon the colors of sea-ice in the sun, as large as a wolfhound but built like a mastiff, came ambling after her, grumbling an impatient greeting.
