The Negotiation Part 1

Vincent woke up to the soft light of dawn filtering through the delicate, leaf-patterned curtains of his guest quarters. The room was spacious and airy, with walls made of smooth, polished wood that gave off a warm, golden glow in the early morning light. He stretched and got out of bed, feeling the cool wooden floor beneath his feet.

He moved to the window and pulled the curtains aside, taking a moment to appreciate the serene view of the forest outside.

Vincent turned to the elegant wooden door on the far side of the room, which led to a private bathing chamber. The chamber was adorned with intricate carvings of elven symbols and nature scenes, giving it a tranquil and mystical atmosphere. A large stone tub occupied the center of the room, filled with steaming, crystal-clear water that glowed faintly with a soft, blue light.
