Bale's Mage Tower
...
Darris looked at the ground and shook his head, "No, Link is an exceptional apprentice, it's just...too sudden. Master, I do not know how to explain this feeling of abruptness...it is almost as if this was deliberately planned."
"Deliberate? Planned?" These two words struck fear into Bale's heart. Many images flashed through his mind.
Could it be that someone has discovered my secret? Link was recommended by my old friend Duke Abel, there should not be a problem…but Darris' sixth sense had always been accurate. If he sensed that something was amiss, the chances were that he was right.
After a few moments of silence, Bale spoke, "Since I have decided to take Link as my disciple, I have the right to better understand his background. Help me do some research and report back to me as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir," Darris nodded, "If there is indeed a problem, what should I do?"
