Lyria (1)

Erik moved through the busy streets of Caelora city, wearing the armor of the Blackguards. His presence inspired both respect and fear among the city's residents.

The infamous reputation of the Blackguards as ruthless upholders of law was clear in the wide berth and apprehensive glances he received from passersby.

Despite the reactions, Erik's mind was not occupied with his current disguise or the wary eyes that followed his every step.

His thoughts were fixed on his destination—the mercenary guild hall—and the person he intended to confront, Lyria.

He had to make the woman pay for what she did. Erik and Lyria collaborated a lot during the past year, not only to complete quests for the Blackguards, but even for matters of different natures that required his particular set of skills.

It wasn't like he expected her not to do something like this. After all, the woman showed herself to be very ruthless on some occasions.
