A sound of broken glass echoed the whole guild. The glass he was holding was now shattered on the ground, broken in pieces.
Just when he thought he was already surprised, figures started to walk inside. People with the faces he had been with not too long ago.
"Missed us?" Emelda smirked. "It's been a long time, Mr. Elliot."
"W-What?" Elliot stuttered. "But it was– they said it was…"
"Glad to see you again, mentor," Christina smiled. "It's been a while."
A tear fell past his eye as he dashed towards the people in the doorway, opening his arms to which they gladly took.
"How did this happen? They said it was Midnight's birthday," Elliot said, hugging Christina, Emelda, and Dan. "You guys did me good."
His guild mates started appearing, carrying the banners that said 'Welcome Back' in them. The food they prepared were also now in the table, everyone celebrating their return.
