Alaric walks into his dorm room, nicely organized, he places his blade next to his bed. He grew more into it and can carry it with one hand, despite its very large appearance. He became TALLER than before, puberty kicking in, and he was NOT having a nice time with the change in hormones.

"..." But he looked at the letter...

"Paul?" Alaric is surprised, he contacted them he was pretty sure, but this came by way later than expected.

"Dear Alaric,"

"As much as I dislike you staying in Ranoa... I will respect your wishes, you're just a kid, and I can't make you reliable for wanting to get with the princess of Asura! Haha"

"..." Alaric grits his teeth but calms down. He... Has had eyes for Ariel for quite some time... This never happened until he turned 13 not too long ago...

"But Rudeus and Norn are still alive and well. Since we talked, my mind has been clearer than before, but I am still unsure where your mother is. I hope you've grown stronger since we last met... I love you, Alar." The letter ends, with Alaric breathing a sigh of relief, happy, he was... Happy. Everyone was doing fine... But his mother... Where was she...?

...

The nights rolled around, and the boy still thinking, he wasn't sure how to explain or even process the idea of his mother being dead... Alive and lost... Or whatever... She was missing, and that has been weighing on his mind... But he has a life debt to Ariel... Ever since his little money issue, throwing it to save Eris' grandfather's life, Sauros, he has been able to build up a market with some... Difficulties... Some of which involve threatening a customer... Lilia has been helping him organize, his words being at play to sell some fruits. Maybe he should ship them some materials from here... But then he won't get the best pay as the materials harvested-

"Wait..." Alaric realized something... Sure, he's being paid for the Silver Lizards,

"WHY AM I NOT GETTING THE MONEY FROM THE MATERIALS!?!" Alaric wondered as he growled, realizing he had been giving away a LOT of money without getting anything back! He only gets paid for the monster amount... But...

"No wonder why they've been giving me the meat without question..." Alaric sighs, but looking to the side, a glass jar filled with about 50 Gold Coins sits. He has been doing jobs, yes, but after the quest he has been splitting with Ariel. The amount of monsters and the money he gets from them have been with him and he spends the money that goes beyond 50 for whatever. He is pretty comfortable right now, and it is all thanks to his new A Rank in the guild!

"Thank Irene for the transfer..." Alaric says, as he transferred his previous rank to this guild, Sylphy only has a D Rank, but it's good she has some experience...

"Snow Serpent..." Alaric stands in his dorm, pulling out 5 things of Snow Serpent skin.

"June was right... It's very pretty..." Alaric admits that this skin was by far the nicest-looking Serpent Skin in the world... The Ruby and Emerald Serpent were too dull or not an appealing color, but THIS was bright and shiny...

Alaric smiled, wrapping it in leather, as he was going to send it to Pilphar's direction...

"Alright, Aisha... Being a maid requires the most poise in a woman. Being helpful to your master is key, and learning how to clean... Cook... Do landury... That's all a part of-"
