'Intruder'

When the duo got into town they headed straight home. When they got in they found three guests waiting for them, Richard Zorge the guild master of the adventurers guild, and Ian and Vale who were seated in the living room.

Ian got out of his seat quickly and went to welcome Aldin. Aldin sat down next to him.

After Aldin happened in his life, Ian’s life had gotten much better and so was it for his sister and of course he’d be happy to see him around.

“Thank you,” Aldin said as he sat down.

“Nice to see you again, but I have to ask, aren’t you supposed to still be at the academy?” Richard asked.

“Actually, Aldin graduated early,” Lark said proudly.” The academy said they have nothing else to teach him,”

‘This must be denial,’ Richard thought to himself.

“And he is even better at forging than I am,” Sylvia chimed in coming from the kitchen with a pot of tea in hand.
