There are 2 versions of Abel available - one with a helmet and one without.


"Abel, Abel, where are you?" called Lilly. She was in a hurry, running in the direction of the training area. Alerting a practising member of the Order of the Dragon to her presence as early as possible was a sensible idea.

Captain Abel was a swift and cunning fighter that was near impossible to predict in a fight! Years of practice brought with it deadly skill and control. He could sometimes lose himself in the dance of death, and Lilly wanted to make sure she didn't surprise him.

Lilly needn't have been worried. The Captain stood still as a statue as she entered the training hall. The exertion of his practice was plain for all to see as sweat glistened and clung to his torso. He was not out of breath.

"What is it, Princess?"

Although friends for years, this wasn't the only reason Abel was so willing to help Lilly. He was at her disposal out of duty, but more than that, he loved her dearly. He was in love with her. It still hurt every day that she had chosen Cedric over him; however, Cedric was his oldest and best friend and despite a little jealousy, Abel held no enmity towards him. If his friend was in danger, he would help no matter the cost.

Friends since their youth, Able always had a knack for getting the pair into trouble. His recklessness at times had nearly cost them their lives on many an occasion. Over the years, the two had fought side by side during many battles. Their awareness of each other forged over many years had saved their life so many times. Who was the better fighter? Any man in the Kingdom would say Cedric, but just once, Abel had bested Cedric in personal combat. He was the only man to ever do so. Of course Cedric claimed he had let his friend beat him, but Abel knew better.

Now his friend was in trouble. Not for the first time, but something in Lilly's voice told him it was serious, and because of this, Abel was ready. It didn't take him long to arm himself, pulling on his drake mantel and grabbing his spear, which he had leaned against the wall as he heard Lilly approach. He was ready.

He had spent much of his youth obsessed with Dragons, and the legends of Talarius's Guardian Dragon had led him to spend many months scouring the Drakespine Mountains. He new the region and could easily navigate his way around. Lilly had informed him Cedric was last seen following the Barghest in that direction, something he could quickly confirm using his ability as a tracker. It hadn't tested his skills. The tracks left by both had been plain to see.

Now, standing on the broken ice bridge, he could see the struggle that had taken place and where both combatants had fallen. If Cedric was alive, he now had a good idea where he would be.

Arriving at the gates of the mountain monastery, Abel had first discovered this place during his first adventure into the Drakespine. When starving close to death, they had taken him out of the fierce snowstorm and offered him sanctuary and a warm meal. It was the only way he had survived his ordeal. He struck the giant bell at the entrance with its hammer to announce his presence. He didn't have to wait long. The monastery gates of the Order of the Golden Lotus opened silently, and Grand Master Kang confronted him.

"He is here."
