บท 308: First Encounter with a Stage 4.

"Welcome to the Elvenheim- Rivendell. What is your purpose of visiting?" he asked.

"Visiting an acquaintance," Lucius plainly answered. 

The elf leader calmly nodded his head and the orb within his hand lit up with green light. He then continued with his questions.

"Are you harboring any known criminals or transporting any contraband? Coming clean right now would reduce your sentence if you're found guilty later." 

"There is nothing of that sort aboard."

"Do you or any of your companions belong to the [Evil] faction?"

"No."

"Where is your exact destination within Rivendell?"

"The seventh planet within his system."

"How long will the duration of your stay last?"

"One or two weeks."

"How many passengers are on board?"

"Three. The ones you see here."

A few other mandatory questions were asked and Lucius answered each one calmly and precisely.
