The room was filled with tension as Akira, Kael, Blacky, Maya, Rylan, and Selene discussed their next steps. Lyra, the keeper of the Greed artifact, sat nervously in the corner, her eyes darting around the room as if she expected danger to burst through the walls at any moment.
"We need to stay vigilant," Kael said, pacing the room. "If the dark elf is targeting Lyra, we can't afford to let our guard down."
Akira nodded, his hand resting on the hilt of his dagger. "We should take turns keeping watch tonight. We can't be too careful."
Selene agreed, "I'll go first. I have a feeling something might happen soon."
As the night fell, the group settled into a tense watch rotation. Selene stood by the window, her sharp eyes scanning the darkened streets outside. The city was unnervingly quiet, the usual bustle of life replaced by an eerie stillness.
