He makes contact with High WizardFeatherdown, a friend of his grandfather who gives him a jobrepairing magic equipment in the basement of the wizard’s tower.The High Wizard is very suspicious as to why he is there as thereis a prophecy that mentions a person with his unusual name.
Featherdown gives him a tricky quest to fixthe town of Twin Towers’ magic fountain. He fixes it and makesfriends with both the air and water elementals that use the magicnode under the town as a source of food.
