Mysterious Person at the Tavern
Albern was taken by surprise when a hooded stranger invited him to sit with them. The voice was neutral and the face was hard to make out, but the person did not seem to be carrying any obvious weapons, so Albern nodded and took a seat at the old oak table away from the crowds.
The stranger was of a slight build, that could either be a man or a woman and the voice was barely above a whisper so that only Albern could hear.
"Albern, I know who you are, and more importantly who you will become, but you do not know me, nor whom I represent, nor do you need to know yet. When the time comes, we shall call on you, and we shall help you as best we can, without revealing ourselves. Do not mention this meeting to anyone except your advisor."
Albern looked startled but said: "How can I help you and your associates?"
"A wise question. Now I ask you to think carefully; what is it that you most need to achieve your potential?"
"Do I have to decide right now?"
"Do you not already know? Think harder about what you need and we can arrange it for you. You already have a mentor and a possible relationship, what else do you need?"
"I need a position of responsibility, an abode and a reliable source of income."
"It shall all be done for you, in time… "
Albern did not notice the stranger leaving, but suddenly the chair was empty and no sign that anyone had ever been there. Was it a dream, a ghost, a spy or an assassin who knew how to sneak into the shadows?
