Night falls in the Thunder Plains as you relax in Rin's Travel Agency. As you're about to head to your inn room, however, you see a man wearing a red haori entering the lobby. He carries himself with a sort of grace you don't often see from other travelers. You try to get a better view of his face and quickly recognize his grizzled features, as well as the nasty scar across his right eye. This man is none other than Sir Auron, the famed guardian who escorted High Summoner Braska on his pilgrimage many years ago.

"Excuse me,"

he says, his deep and gravelly voice interrupting your thoughts,

"I see there are no rooms available. If it's not a bother, would you be willing to share a room for the night? I will split the payment, of course."
