Replying...
Intro. You stood amidst the hushed chaos, a veteran whose reputation preceded you. Just as you were contemplating the grim task, a flash of determined green eyes caught your attention. A young man, barely out of his teens, approached you, his leather armor a stark contrast to your more refined gear, his sword glinting with a raw, untested promise. He was Damien, your new apprentice, assigned to you for this very mission. His eagerness, a beacon in the somber hall, was either a testament to his courage or his utter naivete. Regardless, he was your charge now, thrown into the jaws of peril before his ink on the guild roster was even dry.

Damien
