The stone chamber where Bast encountered himself was almost like if it was made of darkness. Even though there were windows were some light could enter the room, it remained dark, almost like if light itself was avoiding that room. Uneasiness. Even though Bast was a powerful magician, he was still had a strange feeling, almost like there was something waiting for him, watching him.

[color=C6DEFF][I]"Hm.... intriguing..."[/I][/color] He thought to himself as he carefully analyzed his surroundings. That didn't seem to be the type of thing Araghast would do... Did he give the card to someone else? Disappointing, but he could have his fun nonetheless...

Looking around more carefully, Bast realized that the room was in fact a throne room. Despite the darkness and the weird feeling, he could still see the rug of a very fine and expensive material leading him to a large throne made of the most varied types of bones, including human ones. But before Bast could do anything more, a voice came from behind him, interrupting him.

"Wow. You really appeared." The figure said as Bast carefully turned around, analyzing the man with an amused smirk. That most certainly wasn't Araghast... Shaved head, a round face and a body type a bit too fat for a warrior's, he wore clothes of a strange tone of black. The weird sensation was still in the air, but Bast's curiosity was simply too much for him to walk away, furthermore, he was interested about what was happening. A bit disappointed that he wasn't Araghast... But maybe it could turn out to be even better than if he had met Araghast...?

"Although, I really shouldn't be surprised. From the way Araghast told me about you, you seem to be a person who likes to stick his head in things he has no business in." The man continued, before started talking about the throne room.

[color=C6DEFF]"You seem to be quite different from Araghast... You seem to be more interesting..."[/color] Bast said, carefully analyzing the man's reactions to his words.

[color=C6DEFF]"Araghast himself is an interesting person. But he is too short sighted. Sure, he is most certainly better than the brutish pawns of meat and muscle that he commands, but he still fails to realize how much more powerful subtle things can be than pure strength."[/color] he said, as the man mentioned Araghast.

[color=C6DEFF]"It wouldn't be that fun if I simply stood quiet, tending to my business now, would it?"[/color] He said, with a smirk on his face.
[color=C6DEFF]"Besides that... Now I do have something to do with all this situation. After all, it was [I]you[/I] who called me here."[/color] He said, with a provoking smirk.

[color=C6DEFF]"It would be rude for me to ask for your name before properly introducing myself. I'm Bast Ragoczy. I suppose Araghast told you a little bit about myself."[/color] Bast said, with a formal bow.

[color=C6DEFF]"But I suppose you didn't call me here just to chat, did you? Even though you seem to be a bit more... entertaining than Araghast."[/color] Bast said, tapping his fingers on the top of his cane.
[color=6ecff6]"I hope you have something interesting for me."[/color] He concluded, waiting for the man's answer.

[color=C6DEFF]"Regarding the throne room, I can't say it's exactly my style, but I can appreciate the amount of work that it was needed to make it. The throne is quite something... It's just a wild guess, but I need to ask... Is this King Joshua's throne? I've been hearing some interesting things about him. He seems to be quite an interesting fellow to talk with..."[/color] Bast said, raising one of his eyebrows as he mentioned the name Joshua. He had never seen Joshua before, so the man in front of him could even be Joshua himself but instead of asking straight away, he choose to take a more... subtle and delicate route.

[color=8dc73f]"Sure, Magnus. You're welcome to come with me."[/color] Freyr said, looking to the big minotaur. He was a pleasant company to have.

[color=8dc73f]"You seem to already know the man that sent us this request... That will certainly be useful."[/color] Freyr completed, nodding towards Magnus, thanking for him having offered himself to go with him to the forest. He always felt as ease while in a forest. Even though he left his home forest, he was still a Viera. He still had a deep, physical and magical connection to the forest.

As he heard Haley saying that she wouldn't go with him that time, even though he tried to hide his reaction, he was unable to completely hide that he was in fact a bit relieved by that. If she came with them, he most certainly wouldn't be able to calm himself down and forget all that situation, those strange feelings inside him.

[color=8dc73f]"I-I see. We won't. I'll ask Magnus to tell you about what happened when we get back."[/color] Freyr said with an unusually formal greeting as he walked away with Magnus, before Neil called them to say a thing before sending them on their quest.

Apparently, the same dwarves who did that wonderful job restoring the guild opened a shop in a cabin near the river, which happened to be the same direction that they were going. Maybe they would even meet them on their way there, which strangely enough, didn't happened as they arrived there. 

It was easy to localize the Dwarves' cabin. It was heavily modified with stone and metal structures. It was certainly quite something.
But ironically enough, they saw no dwarves there, instead, they saw a human man tending to a bonfire. Just like Neil said before, he really resembled him, albeit a bit older and wearing priest robes.

"[color=fff200]You know, I admire you people. I hope my boy turns out just like you.[/color]" the man said, after expressing his admiration for the guild and telling them that they were quite famous.

[color=8dc73f]"Varjo... For myself, I prefer much more to be in a forest, in contact with the nature. I am a Viera, after all..."[/color] Freyr said, greeting the man.

[color=8dc73f]"You are the one who posted that request on the guild, right?"[/color] Freyr asked, turning to Magnus as if he was asking if he was really the one who contacted them.
