He hasn't been the same since discharging from the hospital, and now he and his spec ops Drax Guard team are acting weird about some elf who came into her café. She trusts her brother and his team, but she also needs to keep the lights on so she doesn't lose her shot at the dream.An open attack on the streets of Dunhare solidifies that the sorcerer is after the team.
