The ornate living room of my villa felt strangely tense as I sat across from Commander Keller and Captain Ari Steele of the Eldoria Battle Zone. Their unexpected appearance at my doorstep had caught me off guard, especially since Eamon was away on an errand.
"Mr. Knight," Commander Keller began, his weathered face serious yet somehow warm. "I apologize for the unscheduled visit, but we've come with an official matter that couldn't wait."
I nodded, keeping my expression neutral. "What brings Eldoria's finest to my humble home?"
Keller cleared his throat. "As I mentioned briefly during our previous meeting, Chief Vance has taken a personal interest in you." He reached into his coat and pulled out an embossed envelope. "This is a formal invitation to join the Eldoria Battle Zone's medical division in an official capacity."
My eyebrows shot up. "Join the Battle Zone? Me?"
"Yes. The chief believes your... unique medical expertise would be invaluable to our wounded soldiers."
