The first to depart from the Royal Respite was Keruzi, wasting no time at the upscale inn before heading straight for Simon's residence. The sun had just begun to rise, casting its soft light as Keruzi navigated through the quiet morning streets. The city, in its pre-dawn tranquility, offered a unique blend of urban life and the wild jungle, creating an intriguing morning atmosphere. Large birds gracefully soared above, finding perches on specially designed roosts, producing a bit of commotion. One of these avian performers could easily wake up an entire city block, but as their songs spread across town, it formed a melody that gradually stirred Axeshield awake. The Royal Respite was strategically designed to address this issue, ensuring the undisturbed rest of Cheon and Aelyeth.

Observing the early risers of Axeshield, Keruzi witnessed residents opening their windows to welcome the sun and savor the fresh morning air. Some locals, recognizing the distinctive blood-soaked cloak of the Reapers that Keruzi wore, greeted her with friendly waves. With most streets still devoid of activity, Keruzi's journey proceeded effortlessly.

Upon reaching Noble Haven, it was still early, and yet, a gate with two guards concluding their morning shift stood in her path. Then entered Keruzi. The mere presence of her forced an acknowledgment from the guards, who seemed less than thrilled about continuing their morning watch.

"State your business," one of the guards demanded with a hint of irritation.

Several leagues behind Keruzi were Cheon, Aelyeth, and Ebthor. Unacquainted with each other, the trio remained oblivious to their fellow travelers. Nevertheless, as they simultaneously embarked on the journey to Noble Haven, the discerning minds of Cheon and Aelyeth found it challenging not to take notice of each other. Cheon, with his swifter pace, quickly overtook the duo of Aelyeth and Ebthor. Even at his unhurried speed, he effortlessly maintained a steadily widening lead.

[hider=GM Stuff]Aelyeth, Ebthor, and Cheon are an hour behind Keruzi. Keep this in mind as they will not arrive to Keruzi’s scene. Pay attention to the post time until then.[/hider]
