Edmund had been so nice to me and took his time to teach and explain things. The least I could do is accept the quest. Luke reached out and grabbed the rolled up letter with a hesitant smile.

“Edmund? Can I just ask why you are showing such an interest in me?” Luke questioned.

“That's a very fair question, Luke. Do you know why most people visit my store?” He gazed at Luke but when he received nothing but a shrug, he continued speaking. “They come to buy a flashy pet. Pets differ from animal companions. There isn’t a strong bond right away. You have to work at it much harder and earn it. Most travelers treat their pets as vanity items and usually lose interest after a few days. Do you know how many pet falcons I have had returned just this week?” Again Luke gave him a shrug. “Over twenty. Do you know what all of them ask when they buy the falcon in the first place?” Edmund didn’t bother looking at Luke or waiting for an answer, he just continued speaking. “They ask nothing. Not a one has asked me how to take care of their pet.” His eyes filled with sadness. “No one cares about these animals anymore. Didn’t you notice that no one came in to bother us while we sat and chatted for hours?”

Luke did find that odd. He had been here for at least a few hours and barely anyone even walked by the front windows. “I can’t be the only one who…” Edmund gave him a serious stare.

“You are the only traveler to ever ask how to better take care of their animal.”

“That can’t be the only reason you’re being so nice… right?” Luke pushed.

Edmund let out a large sigh. “No, it isn’t the only reason. I was a beast tamer in my adventuring days and, to be honest, it's not a rare specialization by choice, it's more of a dying specialization.” Luke gave him a deadpan face implying he knew he was being set up. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s a strong choice. The main problem is the requirements. I don’t remember them all, it was too long ago, but I remember the big two were having a strong bond with an animal companion and having nature affinity in magic.”

“If that was the case, why aren’t there a lot of Elves who choose the specialization?” Luke continued to press for information.

“Most elves, especially ones with nature affinity, choose to be mages or spell arrows. Like I said, everyone, even elves, care about personal strength above all else.” Edmund frowned as he gazed around the room at all the caged animals.

Luke remembered an old phrase that had something to do with absolute power or the search for power. He couldn’t remember the exact phrase, but Edmund’s logic made sense.

“Well Edmund, I’ll look into it,” Luke stated.
