Night had fallen over the Phoenix Celestial Guild's real-life branch. The building cast its imposing silhouette against the glowing city skyline.
Within it members moved through the halls, strategizing over missions or unwinding in the guild's many lounges.
Ariana Carlisle, better known as Aria in Enders Light was seated in one of the guild's private offices.
A thoughtful frown creased her face as she listened to Nathan Hale, one of the guild's senior officers.
"You've heard nothing from Aleman since the Swordking Dungeon?" Nathan questioned with both a curious and slightly impatient tone.
Aria sighed, leaning back in her chair. "Not a word. I've sent messages in-game, but he hasn't responded to a single one. It's like he's disappeared."
