"Alright. Is everyone ready?"
Alyssa's voice rang out as she tightened the reins of her mare.
The morning breeze brushed through her blond hair as sunlight spilled over the town gates.
Behind her stood the rest of Blue Bound adventurer party, all saddled up and eager to start their new quest.
"Yeah, let's go!"
Essel cheered from her horse, her bright, sunny grin shining like the morning itself. She always carried that warmth—like she could heal wounds with her smile alone. She too wore a much lighter white magician robe, with symbols of light and healing on her sleeves.
"Yeah, yeah," Blas muttered, rolling his shoulders as if even enthusiasm was too much effort. His bow and arrow resting proudly on his back.
Lastly, at the back of the group, Auren glanced down at the silver-etched badge pinned to his chest—his Adventurer License which he received yesterday.
It bore his face, his fake Divine Frame details, and current rank.
