The café nestled itself comfortably in the corner of the bustling Blue Star Town, its quiet warmth a sharp contrast to the restless energy outside. The walls were lined with old, polished wood, the air rich with the scent of freshly brewed drinks and baked bread. Alex sat at a corner table, his hood pulled low over his face. The half-empty glass of juice before him caught a glimmer of sunlight streaming through the window, condensation pooling at its base.
Across from him sat Z'yna and the Queen, both disguised as ordinary hunters through the amulets Alex had enhanced.
Z'yna's draconic features were dulled into the rough, battle-worn guise of a seasoned ranger, while the Queen carried an aura of ease despite her disguise, sipping delicately from her cup as though she were merely indulging in a casual outing.
Alex leaned back slightly, his gaze trained on the street outside, where a steady stream of people moved about their business.
