It was time for another adventure.
Looking at the strange ancient temple in the distance, Marcus felt a familiar surge of excitement. He had barely decided to head down and investigate when he patted Blackie's head and ran a hand over the Seven-Colored Divine Eagle's smooth, beautiful wings.
"Blackie, let's go!"
The two beasts began diving toward the temple, but before Marcus could get very far, a private message chimed in.
"Stone, this is SoulSync. Got a minute?"
It was SoulSync, the vice leader of the Soulfire Guild.
Marcus immediately stopped Blackie's descent and opened the communication. "Yeah, SoulSync. What's up?"
"Stone, I'm asking for a favor."
SoulSync laughed. "We ran into a Hidden Quest. The maximum party size is ten, but we're a little short on firepower. We've already failed twice, and tomorrow is the final day. I wanted to see if you could lend us a hand, assuming you're free."
'Asking him for help?'
