A couple of years pass. Saikhan becomes quite the mage, Nilaka hangs around figuring they need his help more than anyone else in the world, and a slightly less widdle Lyskir still gets a head-patted.

That's probably not how it goes canonically, BUT IT'S CANON ENOUGH UNTIL HUGS QUEST 2.

I felt really ill so this looks much worse than it could have. Oh well.

I could get used to this "traditional medium" stuff.
