"Ukabu Brew. As if Boogre Brew was not bad enough!" he muttered, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "and the crushed leaf of a jungle lily to top it off! That must have been what he meant when he mentioned evil. I hate those things!"
Ditka poured a small amount of water from the clay pitcher on his table into a bowl and splashed his face.
Feeling almost fully awake he thought he should set out to seek the sage Wyvern.
But where would a sage be this early in the morning?
