"You're back, I see," said Zala, suppressing a smile.

"The Guard got its nose bloodied last time, and Ardenis wasn't even in Golden Sandbar."

"Monstrous birds have been coming out of nowhere. They've pecked the eyeballs out of several of our men. We must get the city governor's approval to let the Guard move into the city."

"I sent some soldiers to drive off the birds on the outskirts of Celestia. Go lend a hand."

"Welcome to Celestia. What do you want?" Samuk grunted. His forehead was slicked with a thick layer of sweat.

"The Praetorian Guard? Oh, you're from the Guard camped outside. Well, we don't have any escaped prisoners here."

"So you are just a Sprite Messenger, and they asked you for help? You said that you've met the governor? Oh, please excuse my manners; I'm talking without thinking!"

"Those monstrous birds are a strange omen. They used to fly around the city, but they were never quite so aggressive."

"Thank you for dealing with the problem."

"I've just been too busy lately to deal with things that happen outside the city. Good thing you're here!"

"The situation with the Praetorian Guard is troubling, but we're lucky to have you helping both sides," Samuk said with a dry laugh.
