The forest gave way to open fields as Lunara, and I approached Mystveil. The towering walls of the frontier town loomed in the distance; their imposing structure reinforced with runes that glimmered faintly under the afternoon sun. The gates stood wide open, flanked by guards clad in polished armor, their weapons resting easily at their sides but within reach. Beyond the walls, the bustle of a lively town could be seen and heard—a stark contrast to the dense silence of the forest we had left behind.
"So, this is Mystveil," I murmured, my crimson eyes scanning the scene ahead. The Leporis Veil had once again cloaked me in the form of a rabbit beastman, and Lunara walked silently beside me, her sapphire eyes taking in every detail of our surroundings. Despite her calm demeanor, her subtle movements—the occasional twitch of her ears or the light tap of her rapier's hilt—betrayed her readiness for anything.
