Personal Request

Erik felt a rising weight in the pit of his stomach when he saw Lyria's mood change. "Ms. Bannon," he asked slowly, moving in his seat, "May I ask what this meeting is about? You mentioned it was important."

Lyria took a deep breath and put her fingers together as she put them on the table. "Yes, that's true. Your prowess, especially your ability to gather information, has caught the attention of many within the guild."

She waited a moment to see what he would do. "In particular, your performance on the practice test for the test to move from novice to pupil was nothing short of remarkable."

Erik raised an eyelid, looking both interested and worried. "Thank you for letting me know. But how does that relate to today's meeting?"

After hesitating momentarily, Lyria said, "The guild wants to give you a mission similar to the one you got during the assessment." Erik moved closer, interested. "What could this quest be about?"
