[hr] He came to a halt, his footsteps echoing against the wooden floor, the sound muffled by the other patrons and the surrounding sounds of other footsteps. As he allowed her full figure to come into focus, his gaze was drawn to her striking four eyes, his flushed cheeks partly illuminated by the candlelight that was eminent across the room. Behind her, long, elegantly folded wings rested. It was difficult to discern her heritage, was she Lunarian or Aurelian? He would guess the former, from how she talked to the previous two, who sat at one of the tables. But at this moment, however, such distinctions felt trivial; what mattered was her presence and the promise of her assistance. [colour=#C0C0C0]“I'm guessing you’re new here, am I right?”[/colour] he inquired, curiosity lacing his voice. A warm smile tugged at the corners of his lips, an instinctive gesture of welcome. [colour=#C0C0C0]“I’m truly glad you found the courage to step forward and offer your help,”[/colour] he continued, positioning himself several paces away from her yet feeling the gravity of her aura. Something stirred within him; there was another question clawing at his mind, one he hesitated to voice. [colour=#C0C0C0]“May I ask what compels you?”[/colour] he pressed, his tone shifting into something more serious. [colour=#C0C0C0]“What drives your desire to be a Sage? And more importantly, why commit yourself to the perilous quest of seeking a cure for the blight?”[/colour] In truth, an unsettling thought nagged at the back of his mind. He recalled the grim truth he had learned: to become Blight-born, a person must first die. What cruel fate awaited those who could be cured? Would the magic that restored their vitality also seal their doom? A chill raced down his spine at the mere contemplation of it, a heavy topic he knew he would eventually need to discuss with Flynn and Eris. His thoughts snapped back to the present, and he raised his hands slightly, a gesture of sincerity.
