Gaela's weary steps led her towards the heart of the village, where the promise of rest beckoned in the form of the Serenity Retreat. The cobblestone path beneath her boots echoed a soft rhythm, a lullaby for the tired wanderer. As she strolled along the docks, the twilight painted the sky.

Amidst the quiet, a subtle movement caught Gaela's attention. A small dragonoid, adorned with scales that shimmered, walked past her. Their eyes met fleetingly (at least she thought they did), and she offered a friendly wave, though unsure if he noticed. To her surprise, he continued in the same direction as her, their paths aligning. Gaela followed the dragonoid through the labyrinthine streets until they reached the Serenity Retreat. The inn's warm glow spilled onto the cobblestones, welcoming tired souls seeking refuge. The sign, adorned with elegant lettering, proclaimed the establishment as not only an inn but also a bar and restaurant.

Turning to the dragonoid with a smile, Gaela greeted him, "Hello there! Seems like we've both found our way to Serenity Retreat." Her eyes gleamed with curiosity, a spark of connection in the vast unknown. However, before he could respond, a distant melody reached their ears—an unmistakable symphony of laughter, clinking glasses, and lively chatter. Gaela tilted her head, catching the distant sounds. "Do you hear that too?" she asked, her voice filled with the infectious excitement of someone ready to embrace the unexpected.
