New mission
Rain found himself in a somewhat resigned state of mind. It appeared that a mission loomed on the horizon, one that would likely demand his attention for an arduous three months or perhaps even more. He mused that he might as well consider give his house to his family, as he had been spending so little time there lately. Complaining, however, was not an option.
However, this mission did present an intriguing opportunity. It would afford him the chance to closely observe the ways of the magic people, gaining valuable insights along the way. Additionally, there was the tantalizing possibility of facing the formidable challenge of battling dragons. For Rain, the allure of learning and growing through these experiences overshadowed any inconvenience that came with an extended absence from home.
"When do we have to leave?" Rain asked. "I guess a long trip won't be so bad since we will have the chance to train along the way as well."
