A couple of days ago Rio was lounging lazily amidst the outdoor patio of the WAA building. He sat on a thick bough as he munched away on a ripe pear, whose flesh was so succulent that juice dripped to the ground with each bite. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw some greater amount of moment and voices from inside.  Eventually the commotion got big enough that his curiosity was piqued and he just had to see what was going on. Approaching one of the attendant he asked, "Hey Neal, what's going on? "

"The King of Meteora has sent a dispatch to all WAA branches asking for adventurers to come see him to investigate a dungeon that mysteriously appeared."  replied Neal.

"Huh, anything else?" Rio said.

"Well if you want to get there first you should sign up as everyone else is going to sign up and rush to the call since there's the potential of a fat payout provided success." 

"Then sign me up! I'll be rushing to the next airship to Meteora then." Rio said cheerfully. While the potential rewards was great, his instinct told him that it was going to be a lot of work to go through. Still, it would be something to do that would hopefully let him gain rank and that license, perhaps he could find something that would help him learn further about his gauntlet as well.

The flight over to Meteora was pretty uneventful and gave Rio plenty of time to rest up for the journey. A gentle breeze under the warmth of the noonday sun accompanied him as he made way to the castle. Already there was quite a bit other odd looking people, no doubt adventurers, who were moving around town. This city looked nice but he'd hopefully have time later to acquainted with Meteora once this meeting was over and perhaps during down time of exploring this dungeon. 

Upon entering the room he quickly scanned the room. He was surprised at the man who looked about the same age as him sitting in front of everyone. After being being escorted to a seat he thanked the old man and took a seat. It felt more like a formal dinner party with the music playing in the background. He didn't care for it but it wasn't a deal breaker either. He scanned the room around and saw some knight, a kid, and some flavor of elf. He closed his eyes for a moment only to be alerted by some worker offering a snack and refreshments. Seemed like it was a dinner party after all. A lazy "nah" floated out from his mouth as he closed his eyes again.
