Earlier that day before Rya gets collared by the Black Roses, and the morning of the festival a wood elf comes out of her room at the Lost Monk Inn.
"Haah... I lost her! If I don't find that dark elf soon, who knows what peril the city will be in?" Nieren said to herself as she got ready to search for Rya once more.
'I still can't believe she was able to sense me when I was cloaked! She is very dangerous indeed.' She thought to herself while eating breakfast.
"Hey, Nieren! Are you planning on taking a quest?" asked one of the dwarf adventurers in the common room.
"I am afraid not today. I have something personal to take care of." She answered while chewing her bread.
"Haah... I was hoping to get a six-person party for this bandit quest. Well, good luck with that!" He said as he walked away to another adventurer.
Nieren shook her head and went back to the front desk. 'They wouldn't be much of a help at all. This is something only I can do,' she thought to herself before checking the bulletin board for any quests that interested her before looking for Rya.
"Hmm. Nothing of note. Well, time to find her." She said to herself as she looked out the window watching the sunrise.

As she searched for the dark elf, she couldn't find her anywhere. Mostly because the streets were packed with everyone in the city. All because of the festival of the Goddess of Balance.
'Gods, I thought the festival was canceled? Stupid Baron! Doesn't he know there's a dark elf running loose in the city! NO! Of course, he doesn't and no one would believe me anyway! Her being drunk must have been the reason I was spared.' Nieren thought to herself trying to not bump into all the people on the street.
At some point, she hears the Baron's friend yell out to the crowd of people in the main square of Ironside.
"My people of Ironside! We have gotten good news about the Prince! He and his comrades were able to stop the goblin horde that attacked our city! This proves that my people can never doubt the power of the Lord of Fiafyr as the goddess looks after him!" A large man shouts loudly.
'Man, Jacob is a large man. The Baron finds the strangest company.' Nieren thought to herself as she continued to watch.
He continued on about giving silence to those that have fallen in the Tomb of the Horde and finally started off the festival with the dancers and huge drum.
"Alright, boys! Let's give these people something to remember!" Jacob yelled.
'Yeah, you have fun. And don't forget to tell them about how there's a DARK ELF SOMEWHERE! Jeez, it's like this city wants to be destroyed. Oh well, I'm the city's only hope.' Nieren thought to herself as the drums sounded louder and the music began, and the dancers were on the stage.
This went on for some time until out of nowhere a Wolf-kin in a cloak was dragging along a tanned woman with azure eyes, also in a cloak, as they nearly bumped into Nieren.
"Hey! Is this a joke to you?" Rya demands.
"Of course, it isn't! Just trust me! I've always wanted to win this game and never have. That ends today, Alpha!" Dalia says with excitement as she leads the way.
'Whoa! Hey, watch where yo-' Nieren stops her thoughts when she notices that the other woman is the dark elf. "It's her!"
Nieren was stunned. She never expected to bump into Rya so easily. 'What is she planning on doing?'
