Destination? The Red Crest!

"We'll be watching your back, kid," Hubert said. "You may be leaving, but this is still your home. We'll keep things safe here."

Turai stood outside the orphanage, the weight of the farewell still fresh in his mind. Each member of Hubert's team had come forward to wish him well. Lyra had clasped his hand with a quiet smile, Finn had given him a nod of approval, and Elara had pulled him into a brief, but warm hug.

Marin had simply patted him on the back, muttering something into his ears. "Stay sharp and never lose sight of what it is you're after."

Now, only Hubert remained.

Turai approached him, feeling a mix of gratitude and sadness. Hubert had been a guiding force for him, someone who had stepped in when things got tough and taught him valuable lessons about strength and leadership. As he stood before the towering figure, Turai felt something catch in his throat.
