     I went straight to the DAA's office again, attempting to search for any clues that I may have missed. I also went there to clear my head and to continue pawing through the DAA's files.

     Another description caught my eye.

     ***EMERAN RAIN - BLOODHOUND***

     I guess that this Emerald Rain guy wasn't as squeaky-clean as I thought he was, I thought to myself.

     I picked through his file, looking for anything that could tip me off about the case or his connection to Aldergore and Bloodhound. 

     Obviously, he was connected to Aldergore in some way if the Guild leader had offered guidance to the metal-hooded man.

     That's when I found a blurb that had his name and the phrase "stolen precious emeralds, suspect dead" from a foreign city. 

     I thought back to when I had stepped into Aldergore's office.

     Suddenly, I remembered something on his desk that looked green and shiny.

     Could it have been an emerald?

     Well, it could've been the emerald ring he'd worn ever since I'd met him -

     But wait...

     When is this report dated?

     It was dated three days before my parents had gone missing.

     For some reason, Ren's name echoed in my head.

     What Aldergore had done to him deserves to be known...

     ... and paid back.
