The tragedy sparked a vigilance in Swan that he had not known before

Swan Dragon left swiftly following the closing of the fifa 15 coins proceedings, intent on finding his daughters and fully expecting to find the kidnapers already slain. He found this — and more. He found a massacre. One of his daughters lay dead on the seashore, her body transformed by Wyld energies into a great yellow bloody fish and left to perish mere yards from the sea. Another of Swan Dragon’s daughters washed up on shore, bloated and bleeding, poisonous, seeping abscesses encrusting her flesh, her mouth frozen in such an expression of fear that Swan Dragon wept and beat his breast in despair. His third daughter, metamorphosed into a mere scattering of sticks and wooden idols in the shapes of bones and internal organs, lay arranged in an apparent message for Swan Dragon, though the words were meaningless.

Swan Dragon found his youngest daughter, Ulito Swan, standing over the dismembered corpses of her four Fair Folk captors, her downy feathered face and hands beading with their opalescent blood. He tried to question Ulito Swan, to learn something of who could have been behind the conspiracy and subsequent slaughter, but his daughter knew very little. All she had learned were the names of her captors’ masters, invoked as she slew them one by one. Indeed, Ulito Swan was very surprised that these minions did not beg for mercy, but instead shut their eyes and cried out in a voice that did not travel outward, but turned back on itself, echoing off of its own sound infinitely. Their voices were in unison. They called out blindly for the coming of the Rain Princes, their summon- ing cut short by Ulito Swan’s final sword-strokes as thunder roared and clouds burst in the distance to the South.

Swan Dragon had not yet heard of these Rain Princes, and his first attempts to find them proved fruitless. He received counsel that Fair Folk nobles are not the sort to be trifled with and that if Swan Dragon or his kin had offended them, there would be no need to go off in search of them, that the Rain Princes would certainly find him.

The tragedy sparked a vigilance in Swan that he had not known before. Never again would he look upon the world as a place where reason and justice held sway. For the first time, he saw the desperate and perilous state of the South — and of Creation itself. He determined to set aside his weary optimism in favor of vigilance and set about recruiting those of like mind who would aid him in ridding the South of corruption.
