City Hall, Adventurers' City.
Inside a private chamber on the fifth floor, Adam and Luca sat at a long table. Muted sunlight filtered through the arched window beside them, casting a pale light across the room.
Outside, the entire city was preparing for war. The streets were filled with urgent movement. Supplies were being loaded into carts. Crates of food, weapons, medicine, and other necessities were being carried toward the waiting army.
Adventurers moved between the buildings, checking their equipment and preparing themselves for the long march. Their destination was the Lamiyan Mountains. More precisely, the battlefield east of the mountains.
Neither Adam nor Luca paid much attention to the commotion outside. Their attention was fixed on the table between them.
In front of Adam lay the Morning Star. Across from him, in front of Luca, lay the Winter Blade.
