The next morning came too soon for Taunie as she rolled out of bed. After a quick bath she was standing in the hallway staring at the door to her guest room. A long sigh left her as she rose up a hand and knocked. “Ansel, Ansel we leave in 10. We can’t waste any time.” With that she turned from the door and ventured into the living room. She began to stuff a bag full of supplies before he finally came out.

At that, the two left the house and arrived at the train station. Paying for three tickets, the three of them climbed onto the train and got into their cabin. She stored the bag overhead and fell back into the seat. The master was rather set on getting Ansel to join the guild but… why her?

It was surprising to see that he wasn’t loud like the others. Maybe it had something to do with the ‘earth’ dragon versus the ‘fire’ and ‘iron’ dragons.
