That evening, with little else to do, Broken decided to log out for the night. After all, they'd be staying in this place for several days.
The next morning, Broken and Aerin enjoyed breakfast in the comfort of their room. A team of elf servants entered. They presented an array of delightful dishes—quite a departure from the vegetarian fare usually associated with the Fae.
The meat dishes, in particular, boasted a unique and tantalizing flavor that delighted their taste buds.
As they finished their meal, Yuna, a female elf, entered the room. She bowed respectfully before addressing them.
"Ms. Aerin," Yuna began in a warm tone, "I have delivered your request to Master Zeno."
"Thank you, Yuna," Aerin replied. "What was my uncle's response?"
"Master Zeno has stated that you are welcome to explore the cave," Yuna explained. "He said this is your home, and you may do as you please. However, he added that two Knights would accompany you."
