Damien and Arielle walked through the bustling streets of Westmont, the warm afternoon sun beating down on everyone equally.
The town was slowly returning to its normal rhythm after the chaos of recent days. Merchants had resumed their chantings to advertise their wares.
The Mercenary Guild building came into view. Arielle walked slightly behind Damien, her mind replaying their earlier conversation with the Town Lord. She was curious about what Damien planned to do next, but knowing him, she refrained from prying.
As they stepped inside, the familiar hum of activity greeted them. Few mercenaries of different ranks sat around discussing their missions, sharing stories, or polishing their weapons. The others were either out on a mission or helping with the town's reconstruction.
The board at the far end of the room displayed a variety of missions, ranging from mundane escort jobs to more dangerous demon-slaying contracts.
