The Adventurers' Guild was bustling with its usual energy when Lunara and I stepped inside to report the completion of our quest. The air was thick with the mingling scents of parchment, ale, and unwashed adventurers. Groups huddled around tables, exchanging stories of glory and failure, while others scrutinized the quest board for their next undertaking.
Elena's eyes lit up as she spotted us approaching the reception desk. Her auburn hair shimmered in the sunlight streaming through the tall windows, and her professional smile softened at the edges.
"Back already?" she asked, her tone laced with curiosity.
"Did you manage to take down the Bloodfang Pack?"
I placed the quest notice on the counter with a calm nod.
"The job's done," I said, glancing at Lunara, who stood silently beside me, her sapphire eyes scanning the room.
