It was late in the evening when the Queen and Princess of Onderon felt a prickling sensation in their minds, as a summons from their Master crept into their thoughts.

My apprentice, I have a test for you. There is an intruder prowling undergrowth of the Wilds. They are unarmed, but dangerous. I want you to find and disable them – do not kill them, I want them brought to me alive. There is a twist to this test, however. You will find a blindfold in your bed-chambers, which you must wear for the duration of the hunt. You must not use your eyes to find the intruder, only your senses.

To this point, the messages they received were identical. After, however, there were minute differences. Callidus instructed the Queen to enter the wilds through the westerly portion of the wall, whilst the Princess would alight the east. The Queen would arrive half an hour after her ward, so that neither would be aware of one another's arrival.

They were hunting each other.
