The next morning, Aurelia and I began our usual routine. The sun had just begun to rise, casting a soft, golden glow through the windows of our chambers. We dressed quickly, donning simple yet practical clothes suitable for the day's tasks ahead.
Aurelia brushed her short, dark hair, while I secured my own in a neat braid. After a quick check of our gear, we made our way to the dining hall.
As we entered, the scent of freshly baked bread and ripe fruits greeted us. We settled at the table, which was already laden with an inviting spread of fruits, breads, and cheeses. I poured us each a cup of tea, enjoying the quiet moment of peace before the day's work began.
A short while later, Riley and Seraphine entered the hall, their footsteps echoing softly. I looked up and smiled. "Good morning, you two."
"Good morning," Riley and Seraphine responded in unison.
