one of Iasco’s guards spoke to Marco an hour later, as he stood at the rail and watched the last signs of land disappear upon the horizon.Marco followed the guard down to the sizable cabin that had been turned over to the small, striped woman.“Golden Hand, do you have any alchemy items that can induce a trance?” Iasco asked when Marco sat down across from her.Marco closed his eyes as he mentally inventoried the materials he had packed at his workshop. “Not the most effective materials, but yes, I can do that,” he answered.“Good. I’d like for you to prepare a batch to use after dinner tonight,” Iasco told him.“What is it to be used for?” Marco asked curiously.“It’s for you, dear,” the lady gave him a teasing smile.“What do you mean?” Marco asked.“I mean that you will take it tonight after dinner, so that you’ll be in a trance tonight. There are things I foresee in your future, and I want to start to prepare you for them,” she said.Marco simply stared at her in confusion.“You have been a fighter, Marco, and an explorer. Now you need to move on to using new skills – you shall first become an ambassador.

And you will need to be able to speak the language of the people in that part of the world. There is a way for me to teach you the basics of the language quickly, but I need for you to be in a trance, so that your soul is open to what I will give you,”
