The Last Request Of A Mage
In front of a mage tower...
"Woah! The tower just looks even bigger up close." Jay remarked as he saw the mage tower where Barton lives. "But the problem is... How the hell am I going to get in if I look like this?" Jay asked himself as he saw two Level 50 NPC guards in front of the mage tower.

As Jay approached the tower's entrance, the guards raised and pointed their halberds at Jay. One of the guards spoke: "No entry to Players and NPCs unless our Lord permits... Wait, what the hell are you?" The guard was supposed to say something like "stop bothering us" but he realized that something was off... What the hell is a 'chicken' doing here?
Just as they were wondering how the 'chicken' got here, Jay spoke up: "I'm under orders from Master Giron. Let me pass!"
The guards were shocked to hear a 'chicken' speak the human tongue so they were dazed for a while. As for Jay he was panicking deep inside as he saw the guards' dazed expressions
"Oh boy... I hope Giron has some deep connections with Barton or I am screwed." Jay said to himself.
Just as there was a brief silence between Jay and the guards, a voice that sounded like an old man came from the top of the tower
"Stand down. Let him come in."
The guards then lowered their halberds. "Go on in then Mr. Chicken. You can find the Lord at the topmost floor of the tower."
When Jay heard the guards address him as 'Mr. Chicken', he almost puked up blood while his rage built up inside him.
"YOU F***ING PIECE OF S***, you're lucky I'm just Level 2 right now or I would have killed you already."
Jay then went inside the tower before the guards insult him any further.
Inside the Barton's Mage Tower...
"I have to climb that?" Jay asked himself since unlike any other Mage Towers with teleportation arrays that can allow fast travel within the confines of the tower, Barton's Mage Tower only had a huge, tall, and worn-out ladder.
"Screw it. I will just motivate myself by thinking that Barton can use Dispel on me." Jay thought to himself as he started climbing the ladder. But before climbing, he thought of another grand plan.
"Wait, I have winged arms right now. Maybe I can fly to the top? Hehehe... As for Nuggets..." Jay then looked at Nuggets who was still 'acting like a stone' in his arms.
"Let's just drop this guy over here and start flying to the top." Jay then left Nuggets all alone at the bottom of the tower as he tried his best to fly to the top.
After 1 hour later...
"God...damn...it... Why is flying so hard?" Jay said in a frustrated way as he finally reached the top of the tower.
"I will never try flying again. My arms are so sore right now..."
Just as Jay was about to relax for a bit...
"Muwahahahaha!!! What an interesting kid! You know you could have reached the top faster if you just climbed the ladder right? Muwahahahaha!"
An old man that had a black cloak and hood then appeared in front of Jay who was still laughing hard.
"(I should just give him the letter first.) Sir Barton, a friend of mine, Giron, asked me to give this to you."
[Give Giron's Letter? Yes/No]
[Yes]
Jay then handed over the letter to Barton.
