Drizzt sat on his favorite mountain ledge watching the sun rise. Although it still stung his underdark eyes, he loved to watch because it reminded him of all the things he experienced to get here. It grounded him; it was his serenity.
The view was also amazing. There are no trees with their shades of green in the underdark - no flowers, no birds with their vibrant colors. When you live where there is no light, there also is no color. This view was very sprecial to Drizzt.
Beside him, basking in the sun's warmth was his trusted friend, Guenhwyvar. This black panther from another dimension was Drizzt's closest companion. Guen had been through many of the same trials and tribulations that brought Drizzt to this place. They were bonded - soul mates. They loved and protected each other like no other.
Suddenly Guen began to growl. Not an alarming growl, but a sound to let Drizzt know that something was coming. Perhaps a friend, or another non-threatening animal. Her tail swayed gently indicating she might know who was approaching them.
In a flash a man jumped through the trees and pounced on Guen, hugging her and burying his face deep in her fur. She rolled over to return the hug and moaned contently as they embraced. "Oh, Guen, my dear friend. It has been way too long. I missed you so" said the man. Drizzt watched in utter amazement. He had not seen Guen react to any other being this way. He wasn't sure how to respond.
The man looked somewhat unusual. Drizzt couldn't quite make his race. He looked mostly human, but his coloring was not like anything Drizzt had seen before. The man's hair was cut neatly, short and was a golden brown. He had a slight cast of facial hair over his golden brown skin and his eyes were the color of the greenest grasses. He wore a tan colored hooded cloak with a golden clasp shaped like a maple leaf over plain light green tunic and brown pants. Drizzt did notice that he had a sceptre hanging from his belt and a pouch. Then the man stopped, stood up and looked at Drizzt.
"Hello, Drizzt" he said while he continued to stroke Gwen's fur. She purred gently at his side. "As you can see, I am no threat. No need to fear, I am a friend." Drizzt still did not know how to respond. "My name is Raiyll and we have much to talk about. Come, let us walk."
