Sage was standing there, in front of the quest board, he was reading the quests offered by various people but most of it doesn't seem to attract Sage's attention at all, he wanted something that is fun to work with, maybe with more fighting. Scanning the whole board over and over again, but still, he couldn't find one. Sage lost hope, but he then saw something that might involve fighting, it was a quest flyer from a quite famous merchant, Barras Berend. Sage knew him because he sells stuff to royals and even things to the army, which would be him as Sage just joined the rune knights. Sage took the flyer and went to see his client, Barras in his forge. As Sage had gone to his forge once, Sage knew the way already so he didn't get any help from the people around him like he always did back in the old days. When Sage arrived at Barras' forge, he said, "Is anybody home?" before entering to not be rude or anything. Barras greeted Sage and let him inside the forge. Sage stepped inside the forge, the quest flyer in his hand, swaying as the wind blows through the door and into the forge. Sage lifted the flyer when he was in front of Bassar, hoping that the merchant would understand what was going on and what Sage wanted to tell him as he doesn't like to talk too much and get things done quickly. Sage waited for quite awhile, and when he got fed up, he wanted to open his mouth and just tell Bassar what was going on, but then Bassar spoke first, "Oh you want to take my request?" Bassar asked Sage, curious his voice sounded. Sage felt like facepalming, he couldn't believe that a merchant to the royals is so stupid. Sage wailed, "Yes Bassar, it is not that hard to understand." For no reason, Sage sounded like he was bumped well because he was. "Woah, don't need to be so grumpy in my store," Bassar said to Sage, hoping him to calm down. "Whatever, just tell me the details," Sage said straightforward, wanting to get things done because he still remembered that he needs to get going to crocus to help the rune knights defend the crown from threats. Bassar then noticed that Sage was serious and wanted to get things done, so he told him all the details Sage needs. "Ok, so here's the deal." Sage leaned forward and closed his eyes, as he wanted to remember every single detail so that he won't mess up like a stupid amateur mage as he is now a professional one. Bassar felt weird when Sage closed his eyes, "Dude are you still there or are you sleeping?" Bassar said, Sage couldn't hold it anymore, he opened his eyes widely and stared at Bassar like a hawk, and sure is Bassar was intimidated and said, "Ok, ok.".
