When Cassian arrived in the city of Farell, the first thing he did was go straight to the information guild to look for Maya, but when he got there, she wasn\u2019t there.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leo approached him as he entered the tavern, and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing here again?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking for Maya. Do you know where she is?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, and even if I did, I wouldn\u2019t tell you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, I\u2019m not looking for trouble, there\u2019s just something important I need to ask her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points >\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are more people here who can help you with whatever you need, but you\u2019re only looking for Maya. I don\u2019t think your intentions towards her are good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian sighed heavily and thought to himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHere we go again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leo was giving him the same speech as the first time they met. Cassian thought, \u201cI don\u2019t have time for this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian was about to give Leo an excuse to get rid of him, but just then Barto, the leader of the information guild, approached them and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLeo, if my sister finds out you\u2019re bothering her clients, she\u2019ll surely get upset.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI just\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya suddenly appeared and said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHere we go again, Leo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMaya, this guy\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what you\u2019re going to say, Leo, and I don\u2019t care. Just stop driving away my clients, or I\u2019ll start poaching yours.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya looked at Cassian and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBack again, huh?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan we talk for a moment?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/6\u00a0<\/p>\n
:\u00a0<\/p>\n
< Need Your Help\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, follow me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points >\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian followed Maya to Barto\u2019s office, and as they entered, she closed the door and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll be alone here. What brings you to visit?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to know more about the elves, I want to find them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what do you want me to do?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI want you to help me find them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, this is the information guild for a reason. We provide information, we don\u2019t find people, and even less so elves. I\u2019ve already told you it\u2019s not easy to find them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou said it\u2019s not easy, not that it\u2019s impossible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve already told you everything I know.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou said your brother and your father used to talk to them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen they come, which they don\u2019t do very often.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut maybe they know how to find them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I suppose you want me to ask them? But I\u2019ve already told you we don\u2019t reveal our clients\u2018 information, my brother and my father won\u2019t tell me anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last time we met, you said you would help me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI said I would try.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd have you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried, and they told me to find something else to occupy myself with, to stop asking about the elves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I talk to your father or your brother, do you think they would tell me something?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI doubt it, and if they find out I told you about the elves, they\u2019ll be mad at me, so don\u2019t even think about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to find them, Maya.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but I can\u2019t help you with that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere must be a way to find them, please help me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

< Need Your Help\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian gave her a pleading look, Maya was a bit weak with that, but she couldn\u2019t do anything more for him, so she replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI really wish I could help you, but I can\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya headed towards the door and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m truly sorry, but I think this trip might have been for nothing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maya left the room, and Cassian followed her. She was standing, staring intently at a tall, blond man with golden eyes who had just entered the tavern. Cassian said to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, Maya\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya turned to look at him and, with a smile, said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re in luck.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya pointed to the blond man who had just entered and said in a low voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you see that man over there?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian looked at the man Maya was pointing to, and something caught his attention; that man had golden eyes just like Abril.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho is that man?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think he\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs he an elf?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cQuiet, they will hear you if you speak so loudly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs he really a\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, that man has been coming to the information guild since I was a child.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian headed towards where that man was. Maya stopped him and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere do you think you\u2019re going?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to talk to him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
3\/6\u00a0<\/p>\n
Need Yo\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, if you go now you\u2019ll only scare him away.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya dragged Cassian outside, saying,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you taking me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll wait for him to leave, and then we\u2019ll follow him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if he leaves through another door?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis tavern only has one entrance. It\u2019s to prevent undesirables from sneaking in. If he leaves, it\u2019ll be through here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once outside the tavern, Maya hid behind some barrels and said to Cassian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCome, we have to hide, we don\u2019t want him to discover us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian stood in front of the door, hesitating whether to do what Maya was telling him. Seeing that Cassian was still standing in front of the door, she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, if you want to talk to that man, this is the best way, otherwise he might end up escaping.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian went to where Maya was and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, I\u2019ll trust you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSmart move.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
While they waited, Cassian asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do you know that man is an elf?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the color of his eyes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey use magic to hide their true appearance, but they can\u2019t change the color of their eyes, no matter how hard they try, at least that\u2019s what my father told me one day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there are also people with that eye color.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya looked at him and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHumans don\u2019t have golden eyes. If you\u2019ve ever seen someone with golden eyes, they\u2019re an elf\u00a0<\/p>\n
or a descendant of one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian thought that Maya\u2019s eye color was also unusual and asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
4\/6\u00a0<\/p>\n
< Need Your Help\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure about what you\u2019re saying?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, very sure. By the way, you still haven\u2019t told me why you want to find an elf.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s something I need to ask him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose you won\u2019t tell me what you want to ask him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to tell you, but I can\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI figured. Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m discreet; I won\u2019t tell anyone your secrets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, but it\u2019s not my secret.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, then I won\u2019t insist on you telling me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think he\u2019ll take a long time to come out?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think so. Whenever an elf comes, they\u2019re here for a short time, they just ask what they want to know and then they leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re not like you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou tend to come to the guild very often and when you do, you stay for hours. Everyone knows you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian was about to say something, but Maya covered his mouth and whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s coming out, let\u2019s follow him. Try to be quiet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
They followed him, staying hidden in the shadows until they reached the forest, where they lost him. They emerged from the shadows and Cassian asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere did he go?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, he was walking very fast.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian complained, \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have listened to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t blame me. You lost sight of him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if you had let me approach him in the tavern, this wouldn\u2019t have happened.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry for stopping you from doing something foolish.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the two argued, the man they were following emerged from the shadows, lunged at\u00a0<\/p>\n
5\/6\u00a0<\/p>\n
< Need Your Help\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassian, and while placing a dagger at his neck, asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho are you, and why are you following me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maya raised her hands and said,\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t harm us, we just want to talk.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
+25 Points\u00a0<\/p>\n
Upon hearing Maya\u2019s voice, the man recognized her as Barto\u2019s sister and Poel\u2019s daughter, the former head of the information guild.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you Maya?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you\u2019ve recognized me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man used his magic, causing small balls of light to float around him, illuminating their faces. But he didn\u2019t remove the dagger from Cassian\u2019s neck. Maya said to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWould you release my friend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy were you following me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy friend wanted to ask you something. Could you release him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man released Cassian, but he didn\u2019t put away his dagger, keeping it ready in case they\u00a0<\/p>\n
tried to attack him. He asked Cassian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo\u00a0<\/p>\n
you know me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, no. Let me introduce myself. My name is Cassian.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy name is Ethan, and if I don\u2019t know you, and you don\u2019t know me, what do you want from\u00a0<\/p>\n
me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
