The Eldoria Quest

After absorbing the wisdom of Clarion Silverbrook at Astoria's grand library, the group, accompanied by S, ventured back into the bustling city. The labyrinthine streets of Aelius were filled with a diverse array of beings from different realms, creating a tapestry of cultures.

As they navigated through the city, a hooded figure approached them with purposeful strides. The figure, whose name was yet unknown, extended a hand in greeting.

"Greetings, travelers," the mysterious figure said, their voice carrying an air of intrigue. "I have a message for you."

Kael, Emily, Leo, Orion and S exchanged glances, curiosity etched on their faces. The hooded messenger continued, "There is someone waiting for you at the Silver Dragon Inn. They have important information to share and seek your audience."

S raised an eyebrow, sensing the gravity of the situation. "Who is this person, and why do they wish to speak with us?"

The messenger merely shrugged, their identity concealed by the shadows of the hood. "All I know is that their message concerns your journey and the challenges that lie ahead. The Silver Dragon Inn, when the moon reaches its zenith, awaits your presence."

With that cryptic message, the hooded figure melded into the crowd, leaving the quartet pondering the mysterious summons. The Silver Dragon Inn, known for its neutral ground where beings from various realms convened, beckoned as a nexus of secrets and revelations.

"We should check it out," suggested Leo, his adventurous spirit intrigued by the enigma. "Whatever awaits us might shed light on our quest."

As the moon ascended in the evening sky, casting its silvery glow over Astoria, the group made their way to the Silver Dragon Inn. The anticipation of what awaited them hung in the air, and the echoes of the city seemed to whisper of shadows of the night.
