''No,'' Archer replied with a smirk. ''I'd make every effort to see you, Miss Innkeeper.''
Mary giggled before posing a question, ''What if I'm not who I appear to be?''
He stared into her blue eyes and sensed no threat coming from the mysterious woman. So he questioned, ''I'm guessing you work for a goddess of some sort who has a hand in the schemes of the world?''
The mature woman chuckled softly as she rose from her seat, leisurely strolling around the desk before leaning beside him and speaking. ''You're half right, handsome.'' Mary leaned forward and lifted his chin with a finger. ''Let me give you a glimpse of a future that both of us will love.''
She beamed. ''You only have to pick the right path.''
As Mary finished speaking, a wave of strange mana shot into him, and his vision changed until he stood in a clearing with a mansion nearby. Archer looked around, confused, and remembered Mary's words.
