Satisfied with their attempts to play the strength game, Leviathan, Tyr, Munatoti, and Mavni all made their way further into the festival. This time determined not to get side tracked, they even made sure that Munatoti had some food to keep the younger dragon appeased. Leviathan looked to Mavni and Munatoti and spoke, “We should perhaps split up, there is a lot of ground to cover here, and we will be able to explore more of it quicker this way.” 

Mavni nodded, “Yes, we can meet back up here and then if we find the elder we can all head over together.” Tyr nodded in agreement and Munatoti continued snacking, simply happy they had something to chew on. “I will take Munatoti with me,” Mavni offered, “We can quickly get through the crowd and search the eastern half of the festival.” 

Leviathan nodded, and he and Tyr set out towards the western half. They passed many vendors and shops, hoping to see one that would lead them toward the elder they seeked. It wasn’t long before they saw a large line of people and dragons, thinking perhaps this was the elder, they asked around to those in line. However it turned out this line was simply for another game, and not for the elder. They sighed, and continued their search, hoping they would come across the elder soon as they still wished to go to the beach and explore the festivities there as well. 

Meanwhile, Mavni and Munatoti continued their search on the eastern half of the festival. While they didn’t see any long lines, they did come across many individuals talking about how they had gotten their fortune told. That the elder had given them three tarot cards and spoke about their past, present, and future. Mavni walked up to a pair discussing their results and asked, “I couldn’t help but notice you have had your readings done - could you point in me in the direction of the elder as myself and my friends have been searching for him for some time now with no clear direction of where he could be.” 

The dragon she spoke to nodded and said, “I can’t tell you exactly where he is, but I can give you a hint!” The dragon grinned gleefully and playfully, even as Munatoti huffed softly at the idea of hints and riddles. “His tent changes spots all the time during the day, but he is in the place where you are least likely to look. Depending on where that is for you and you friends, he will be there for you.” 

Mavni frowned a bit but thanked them regardless. Unsure of what this meant. She looked to Munatoti and beckoned the younger to follow her back to the place where they were to meet Leviathan and Tyr. As they approached the spot, they saw them waiting there and met up together. 

Mavni relayed the information she was given, a confused look upon her face as she was wholly unsure what it could mean. Leviathan thought, his brows furrowed. Tyr piped up though, a thought forming in his mind he felt worth sharing, “What if we checked the beach? Seems an odd place for him to be, but we might find him there.” 

Without really anywhere to go besides that, they all nodded in agreement and headed towards the beach. At first simply scoping the beach and trying to see if the elder was residing there. They looked across the rocky cliff sides, and along the beach, even where the sand met the grass, but alas they could not find him. They stopped for a break, feeling a little defeated, but sure they would find him. As they sat relaxing for a moment, Munatoti exclaimed excitedly, “Look over there!” She wandered quickly away towards an arched rocky formation, and sure enough, there was a tent awaiting there with lights and all manner of decor. The other three quickly got up and followed Munatoti towards the tent, excited to finally meet the elder.
