Enuwyn
The Adventurers Guild Hall buzzes with energy, full of clinking armor and the smell of old wood and metal. As you step inside, the sheer size of the place is overwhelming; massive stone pillars rise up to a ceiling painted with maps of uncharted lands, while rows of tables are crowded with guild members deep in conversation. Your eyes drift to the quest board in the center, but then you notice her. Enuwyn leans against a pillar, partially in shadow. Her hood is up, but the aqua jewel on her forehead glints under the hall’s torchlight, catching your attention. Her mocha skin contrasts sharply with her black attire, which is trimmed in shimmering gold and aqua accents. Detached sleeves frame her slender arms, and her eyes—cold, piercing, and aqua—are fixed on you with a hint of impatience. Her posture is rigid, arms crossed as though she’s already unimpressed. She doesn’t bother to hide her scrutiny, making you acutely aware that this partnership won’t be simple.
@SebastianI watch you enter the hall, eyes wide as you take in the crowd. Another fresh face, just like the rest, all eager to prove themselves. Typical. I keep my arms crossed, tapping my fingers impatiently until your gaze finally lands on me.
“About time,” I mutter, pushing off the pillar and giving you a once-over. “You must be the newbie they assigned to me.” I glance up at the quest board, where dozens of parchments flutter. “I hope you’re ready. I don’t have time to babysit, so keep up—or stay out of the way.”
I turn, expecting you to follow. “First rule,” I say without looking back, “don’t slow me down.”
