...the traveling bard Thomas. When the news of the rewards reached Thomas, the bard quickly traveled towards Magnolia. But unlike the adventurers and mercenaries, Thomas didn't came for the reward, instead he went to Magnolia to witness the event.

Inside an Inn, Thomas was chatting with a barmaid when suddenly, a grim looking person entered. The person in question looked around and went to a table with four people, he then draw his sword! Everyone looked nervously at him. Suddenly, he...

...points to Thomas and said, "I want you to be part of my party. Everyone knows a good group needs a bard. When we succeed, we shall share the spoils!" He introduced himself as Osman, a paladin of The Order.

One by one the group introduced themselves. Athena is a priestess from the holy kingdom of Fronterra. Luke is a knight from Greevis. Stein the thief hails from Meetis. Then there's Saori from the mysterious east continent. She calls herself a "ninja"

"By the way do you know about the Rats?" Osman suddenly asked. " I've heard of them. They're a secretive group that sells information," answered Thomas. "Indeed. Stein here us acquainted with a few of them," said Osman while pointing at Stein.

"We'll go there right now, wanna come with us?" Asked Osman. Thomas agreed without hesitation, he too is curious about the so called "rats". Stein then took them to a house. He then knocked the door using certain rhythms. Before long the door opened.

Stein simply, nods at the bear-like man to the man's annoyance and led the group inside. There, a person in gray cloak led them to a secret there where they walk for god now how long. After the long hike, they finally saw a light, passing the tunnel

To the party's surprise, they arrived at a black market; specifically, it was ran by the drows. Thomas knew in his mind that this is was not normal as the marketers were far from their homeland.

"How curios!" Thomas said? "What's curios?" Athena asked. "These drows, none of them are of pure blood," Thomas answered. "Impressive! You actually noticed," said Stein impressed. "I've been to Halmara before," said Thomas. "Really?" Everyone gasped.

Surprised with what Thomas said, his groupmate wanted to ask more question but was warned by Stein that this not the proper place to do so. After this brief interlude, they finally met the information seller—a time-weary and aged half-blood drow.
