Sergio couldn't believe his luck: here was the halfling he'd been trying so hard to find! Stumbling to find the right words he said, 'My name is Sergio. I've been trying to find another of the faithful." He rolled back his sleeve to reveal an ankh embroidered on the inside.
After the boys were rescued, things seemed to quiet down somewhat, but then reports of the Temple Hill Slasher began circulating. Then a couple of weeks later came news that the Slasher was dead: slain by the Silver Ravens! When he heard the announcement that Barzillai Thrune was going to recognize the deeds of the Silver Ravens, he knew that he had to be there, to try to get a glimpse of Kyda. He joined the crowd. He was tempted by the few Silver Ravens masks that someone was handing out, but thought better of it. He didn't dare draw attention to himself and risk people notice the fact that he was healing ordinary citizens. When the group of halflings came forth and started to claim credit, he was doubtful. Then a halfling woman appeared, announcing herself as Kyda, and his heart skipped a beat. He could see the wisdom of her attempt to draw attention away from the group of halfings: Barzillai Thrune's offer smelled of a trap to him. She had saved them from their own foolishness! He didn't try to approach her there: that seemed like a bad idea given the circumstances. But he resolved to take matters into his own hands and try to meet her. He started by asking people in around the Iudeimus Tenement about her, and where he could find her. But no one seemed to know where she was staying, or where the SIlver Ravens had their headquarters.
Sergio Isaurus stopped in to visit the Shellets in the Iudeimus Tenement, and learned to his distress that young Angus and Phenio were missing. Supposedly the boys had gone out to visit the shops, and had not returned. Their mother and father were beside themselves with worry; they had asked around the neighborhood, but couldn't find any trace of the twins. Sergio consoled them, but had little but comforting words to offer them. When he spoke with them again later in the week, they mentioned being visited by some people claiming to ne investigating the disappearance. When Sergio asked about them, he was startled when Mrs. Shellet mentioned that a halfling woman who introduced herself as Kyda had said something like "The dawn brings new light." His heart skipped a beat, for he immediately knew that she must be a fellow worshipper of Sarenrae; this was an oft-cited aphorism among the faithful. When the boys came home a few days later, they reported being held prisoner by cultists of some sort, and overhearing mention of them being sacrifices. Apparently the strangers calling themselves the Silver Ravens had rescued the boys and brought them back home to their greatly relieved parents. They also reported hearing the halfling woman mentioning Sarenrae, and "the Dawnflower". They also described her as dancing gracefully in combat, slashing the enemies with her small scimitar. This sounded very much like the accounts he had heard about the dervish fighting style that he had understood was taught in Sarenrite temples in the south. Sergio had been in hiding since the Night of Ashes, and had not had any contact with others of his faith, which had been outlawed by the Lord Mayor. He called on friends that he knew in the various tenement buildings, and offered medical treatment to those in need. Luckily he knew how to disguise his divine spellcasting as alchemy, so as not to draw unwanted attention to himself. He hadn't heard from Shensen, the leader of the local Sarenrite community since the Night of Ashes, when her music shop, the Silver Star, had burned to the ground. But now it seemed that his prayers had been answered, and there was one of the faithful in Kintargo aiding the local citizens. But how could he contact her?
