Overture
It’s market day in Aqures Ixen. People stream out of their homes and into the common areas, carrying all kinds of items, for bartering is just as popular on these days as buying things outright. Market days always bring with them a special kind of energy. Anything is possible on these days. One never knows what treasures one might find for sale. Except, of course, for Baltoro’s Blooms.

"Who the hell do you think? The animals who put me here." Gerad made a dismissive gesture with his hands. "I don't care what you want to know - the less you know the better. En't no way a couple o'broad like you know what yer gettin' yerselfs into."

Zelda was tired of hearing it and if this thing attacked him and might threatened them it might mean that no hero of light was safe. Her thoughts went to Link as she approached the side of the bed. Her gaze was determined but she didn't say anything just yet.

"Do you really think you can get away. In your condition?" Her voice was soft, she wasn't ready to give up yet.

"My condition," Gerad answered, mocking Zelda's soft tone, "is that I'm trying to stay out of sight until all this blows over, you nitwit. They be sniffin' after me but won't dare to raise the alarm with the higher ups by slittin' me throat right in this bed."

"Excuse me?" came a voice from the door. A young white mage walked in, dressed in the hospital's uniform. "Can I help you two? I don't believe you've been authorized to visit this patient, we've strict orders not to let anyone see him."

"We were just leaving." Zelda grabbed her companions hand and walked swiftly out of the room. She got more information than she had before but it was still confusing.
