Festivals meant two things, lots of food for one to eat and as a consequence of that lots of money spent and Eric being the cheap person that he was determined to spent the smallest amount of money. His plan was perfect in hindsight, for special events Eric had amassed an impressive collection enough so that if his calculations were right he would be able to eat to his heart's content and just have to pay 50 jewels. What he did not expect was that the owners would adapt to his plan, as he entered one if the restaurants a waiter stopped him and pointed to a sign that said [color=orange]”Coupons and old discounts won't be accepted today, please pay in cash” [/color] [color=lightgreen] “Hope you didn't try to pull the same stunt that you did last Christmas, if you have any money please enter, if not you already know the exit” [/color] the waiter remarked in a rather harsh tone.


Eric was a little bummed out but quickly returned to normal, there were more than one restaurant on Luna's crescente and it's not like every restaurant in the city didn't accept any kind of discounts just for today.  Again his expectations were blown as in a cruel twist of fate, every restaurant or food stand he entered had a similar sign to the one he saw, some mentioning him directly and others had a crude drawing of him.


How much of a threat was he considered to their business? Eric wondered as he wandered around the city, looking for something to eat that either costed 50 jewels or accepted his coupons. His answer came in the form of a poster on a wall which said [color=lightpink] “Do you think you and your friends are strong enough to challenge the [b]MIGHTY DRAGON[/b] curry, said to be too hot even for dragon slayers and survive?  Find out here!, If you and two friends manage to eat the dragon curry in under one hour the meal is free!!!!and the three of you gain a prize of 20,000 jewels and a 50% discount on every meal for a month!!, try it now at the Red slayer buffet"[/color]. 


Eric's eyes lighted up like a moth looking at a lamp, he just needed to find someone who wanted to eat with him, someone with an appetite big enough to help him win the prize. Looking around Eric saw a group of mages, they appear to be quarreling and dangerously close to start fighting, but Eric overheard a someone said date, were they having a lovers quarrel? or one was just jealous of the other? either way he didn't want to meddle in unless they started fighting so he continued to look for people. 


Looking around he saw Matt carrying a small girl over his shoulders who he took more time to recognize, while not being friends with him, he looked up to Matt since he was a pretty powerful magician with his mastery of take over magic, and unlike Eric he did not require a something to use his powers. On the other hand he barely recognized the girl, but he recognized her by her attire, thought his name eluded him at the moment. Matt looked as the perfect candidate for the test and even if he couldn't know how the girl would fare, Eric felt they were a better option than the bickering mages so he approached them.


Since they were on their way on their shooting stall, Eric speed up his pace to arrive before them, and started shooting on the range, there were other three spots so the chance that the range filled was slim. Once Matt and the girl came to the range, Eric waited a few moments before asking Matt [color=orange] “Hey not sure if you know me, I'm part of Harpy's Wing too; but regardless of that I would like to ask you and your companion to help in a contest with a prize of 20,000 jewels for each winner, since the contest requires three people I cannot compete on my own so I ask you if you can help me out”[/color]
