07.??: Premonition

[Joshua]

In a dark back alley in the city, a shadow talks to a shadowy figure.

"Report."

"I was unable to find the jewel. I expected him to be wearing it."

"Look again. I need the jewel. I need it to be... complete. This place has an inertia that even I cannot overcome."

"We'll scout out the other castles, perhaps he hid it underwater."

There is a pause.

"You'll bring it to me when you find it."

"Most likely."
