Regardless of the reason, Farren woke up this morning and found that nobody had tapped him to take on a request. He felt the sting as his pride had been slightly wounded as a result of this, however, he simply took it in stride as much as he possibly could. Maybe he could take this time out to relax, give himself some sort of a break. It was true that he'd been working himself to the bone ever since he took up residence in Phantom Lord. His ambition to reclaim what he'd loss continuing to push him forward in his pursuits. Yet, there was always the risk of running out of steam if passion burned too fiery within an individual.
Though the urge to relax was there, urges within him simply kept him from truly accepting that as a way to spend his day. Maybe there was some request available somewhere that wouldn't be as demanding as the others he'd taken on recently? With this thought in mind, Farren was able to convince himself to continue on the request streak that he'd managed to rack up.
With a renewed feeling of determination burning with him, Farren made his way out of the guildhall and began to walk through the streets of Oak Town. There was a request board in the center of town that was used by a vast majority of people in the search of work. Because of this, he wasn't exactly sure that he'd manage to find any work if he had to be in competition with other up and coming mages. More than likely every worthwhile request that could be taken would have been taken by now.
As he arrived to the board he found that his assumption had been completely accurate. The board had almost been completely stripped clean of any of the requests that had been posted there, save for one request in particular. From a simply glance over the condition of the parchment used, it was obvious that this request had been pinned to the board for quite a while. As he read through the request, he found himself entirely confused. The request itself asked for someone to fetch a few random items.
Fetch quests weren't exactly new to Farren, as he'd even taken one just a few days ago in the form of retrieving a rare clover. However, what made this quest stand out is the fact that the items being requested weren't exactly "rare", and they didn't particularly seem important by any measure.
