“Another day, another adventure!” Such was Leyna’s motto, or at least the young elf liked to think so. Today would be no different than that, she was sure of it.

Leyna arrived back into Venne a couple days ago, after taking part in an expedition to a trade outpost in the eastern territories. Working as a scout for merchants always paid a pretty penny and allowed Leyna to explore the faraway places she liked so much. However, this day she heard the news that there was excitement to be had much closer to home. The rumors about recently discovered ruins reached the elf’s ears before her feet reached the city gates and today like for the past couple days she was going to check whether or not a request to explore them had been posted.

Hopefully, luck was on her side today. However, Leyna couldn’t anticipate what waited for her as she crossed the threshold into the guild hall.

“Good morning everyone! Did it come out today? The request to explore those ruins, I me-” She yelled in an excited voice as she made her way to the mission board. Said excitement would soon change into shock as all Leyna seemed to have been drained of all blood instantly, first going pale and then blue upon seeing who stood beside the same group that signed in for the mission she was looking for.

“S-spi- Why did it have to be spiders?” Leyna said under her breath as she approached the clerk, shaking visibly in her boots and raised her hand.

“I-if you are going to an exploration you’ll need a scout and I-I’m the best one you’ll find this side of the Great Mountains,” Leyna said, trying to put on a brave face.
