Lara walked back the way she came, wondering if she should try and sneak out via the main gate or try her climbing trick again.

"I really don't want to scale that wall, once is enough," she said to herself, looking over at the looming structure. As she went to turn she almost walked into a man standing right in front of her.

"Sorry," she said, before looking more closely. He was tall and in a dark cloak, his face hidden.

"Not a problem, I did in fact step in front of you," the man said. He was in no hurry to move either.

"It's you! What's going on?" Lara said.

"Come this way so we can talk more," the man said. Lara followed along, puzzled at why this mysterious wizard was contacting her again.

"How are you?" he said.

"Fine. We've had a few adventures, but nothing we couldn't handle."

"Good. Things are going to become more difficult soon. You won't be able to hide your journey to the desert," the wizard said. Lara stopped in her tracks.

"How do you know about that?"

"It doesn't matter, let's just say I am invested in your journey. You're going to need help. Alrion needs more training," the wizard said. He stopped off the main path, under a tree.

"Give this to the monk, he will understand it," he said, handing Lara a slip of paper. She unfolded it and read the contents.

"What is this?" she said.

"Directions to a wizard who lives in the desert. You must make sure that Alrion meets him. He is called the Desert Wizard for good reason."

"He's going to wonder where I got this information," Lara said.

"You'll figure something out. What's important is that you find him and that he trains Alrion."

Lara thought that was a good plan. But she didn't trust this mysterious wizard. "I can do that. How is it that you can just tell me what to do?" she said.

"Because I am asking things you already want to do."

"That doesn't make any sense."

"It will, in time. I won't hold you up any longer, good luck," the wizard said.

"How will I contact you if I need help?"

"Alrion knows how."

"But he doesn't know about you?"

"He will discover the way. Don't worry that about that. Just don't lose that note, it's critical," the wizard said. He gave Lara a short wave and vanished.

"Gone again. How do I keep getting caught up in these things?" Lara wondered. She pocketed the note and thought about how to get out.

"Not climbing that wall again," she told herself and headed for the main gate.

She noticed that there was only a light presence guarding the gate.

"Not trying to keep people from going out," she thought to herself. It would be easy to sneak past, but the gate itself would be an issue. However, she did notice something peculiar. She crept closer, avoiding the guards, and sticking to the darkness. Once she reached the gate she took a closer look.

"This is useful," she whispered. There was a square cut into the side of the gate.
