The next day, Kaden woke up to the afternoon sun streaming through the cracks in his room's wooden shutters. His muscles ached from the previous day's exertion, and his body protested as he rolled off the bed. After freshening up, he headed downstairs to the Moonlight Inn's restaurant and ordered a hearty meal. The food was simple but satisfying, and once his stomach was full, he decided to venture out into the bustling streets of the Emberthorn Coalition shelter.
Kaden made his way to the swordsmith shop to collect the beast weapon he had ordered. It had been two days since he'd placed the order, and he was eager to see the result. As he entered the shop, Sera greeted him with a warm smile.
"You must be here for your knives," she said.
Kaden nodded. "Are they ready?"
