"To be honest, I don't know for sure what is causing these disasters be it adepts or something else. My scholars tell me that when Alchemy was released, it caused an upheaval of the powers that govern our world, changing many things. It's how the beastmen of Morgal came to be for example. I've tried to resolve this matter myself, but it seems I need an adept's touch." Iodem said in response to Marta and Isaiah. Iodem gave a sigh and rubbed his eyebrows with his index finger and his thumb as if in contemplative thought before Cale spoke again.

"No offense milord, but it seems kind of odd to me that Tolbi would come to adepts for help when they tried so hard to stop us during the lighthouse incident." Cale said. Iodem looked up at the man and nodded before answering.

"If you recall, we actually requested the help of a certain famous group of adepts in that incident. We're not opposed to seeking outside help when we need it. Only a fool would do otherwise." Iodem corrected. 

What Cailan wanted to say in this situation was something along the lines of how a fool would send a group of people to kill the only two people trying to save a dying world, but he held his tongue. Unlike Isaiah, he actually knew when to keep his mouth shut. Still, he didn't like this, working for this man. The subject of the natural disasters interested him though, so if this was a means to an end of finding out what was going on, he was in.

"So to repeat Isaiah's question, what should we do?" Cale aked. Iodem perked up a bit and took his proper stature again as he addressed the group.

"Go south across the bridge and to the woodland region before Suhalla. That was the last known sighting of a wildfire, along with a rockslide. Strange occurrence. Go there, look around and see if there's any signs of psynergy being used. That's the reason I need adepts, I know firsthand that only adepts can detect when psynergy is being used by other adepts. If it's a normal fire, then that's just what it is, but I want to be sure." Iodem clarified before continuing. "Then, go to Suhalla and check in with one of my scholars, Jared with what you find. You will be well compensated for your help. Do we have an agreement?" Iodem asked.
