Chapter 1 - Shards of Darkness
When morning came, Vun was prepared to leave with the group whenever they were ready. Of course there was time for breakfast and anything like that. Once on the road, the trip seems mostly uneventful, even robbers along the road seem to be quiet. Then again, one might be reluctant to jump a pack of legendary heroes from 20 years ago.
The capital was as bustling as one might imagine, especially during a time of peace. The palace was stunning in grandeur and shining in the sun with glory. It was a far cry from the state it was in when the world was in dire straights many years ago.
Either recognizing the group or accepting the papers that Vun would present to them, the Guards let everyone in with no contest. The well-dressed Kitsune Scholar stopped before the royal vault after being allowed access to it. He turned to speak with the group.
"I don't think I have to remind you of this, but we are here only for the Doomstone Shards. We must not touch anything else inside the vault, understand?"
