Meeting up in the morning at the northern gate, Lucius began warming up and checking their gear. As he looked in his inventory, he noticed the arm and leg guards he had to share with the others once they left the city.
They didn't want to wear too much equipment, as it would tire them out faster. Since the city surroundings were safe, they planned to use the guards once they crossed the river.
Charlotte and Talon arrived while Lily was engaged in small talk with Kevin about her new skill. Kevin's amazed expression filled her with pride.
"Morning," Talon said sleepily, his gaze scanning the surroundings.
Like their group, many others were also getting prepared. It was still very early, with the sun just rising. The cool morning breeze felt a bit chilly.
