The first rays of sunlight crept through the small window of the room, gently illuminating the space. Shinon stirred from his sleep, slowly opening his eyes to greet the new day. Instead, he was welcomed with his next daily quest.
Thankfully, it aligned with the job the Phoenixes had given him, so he didn't have to go out of his way to accomplish another task.
'Two hundred knives for the Phoenixes and fifty to complete the daily quest. Hopefully, I won't need to craft additional knives to complete the mission.'
He sat up on the edge of his bed, stretching his tired muscles and rubbing his eyes to chase away the remnants of sleep.
"Time to get to work. The sooner I finish making the knives, the more I can investigate about Sarah's kids and what happened to the rest of them."
The previous day's events lingered in his mind as he prepared himself for his first day of work under the Phoenixes. But he wasn't the only one who woke up.
