Bab 40: Setting Off

The next morning dawned with a sense of purpose and determination, as the chosen party members gathered in the shelter's main hall. Jayce stood before them, his clear blue eyes reflecting a blend of seriousness and resolve. This was a critical moment, a step into the unknown that held the potential to shape their future.

Beside Jayce stood Lianna, her emerald eyes shining with a mix of anticipation and apprehension. Colin's massive form was a reassuring presence, his playful grin belying the strength that lay within. Jackie's calm demeanor exuded an air of confidence, while Brad and Paul, the swordsmen, exchanged nods of camaraderie. Amber, the fire mage, stood with an air of focused readiness, her hands occasionally flickering with tiny flames as she practiced her mana manipulation. Zane, the archer, leaned nonchalantly against the wall, keeping to himself.
