Althaia left the tavern, passing by the loud man on her way out. She was about to begin heading home when she decided to swing by the Adventure guild on her way. It wasn't too far out of her way and she had time to kill. Besides, she was curious to see if there was anything interesting on the board. So she made her way down the street towards the guild, silent as she walked. Once she arrived she gave a wave to the familiar faces and headed to the board. As she looked it over, she didn't really see much of interest. Most of them were just run-in-the-mill missions with a meager payoff. Nothing exciting, unfortunately.<br/><br/>While she was looking over them, a mysterious cloaked figure approached her from behind and held out a scroll. "Hmm?" she looked back at him but his face was obscured by the hood he wore. She quirked a brow, but before she had a chance to speak, the cloaked figure spoke "Perhaps this will be a suitable mission for an adventurer such as yourself," the deep voice offered as he continued holding the scroll in front of her.<br/><br/>She looked a bit skeptical, not to mention curious as she took the scroll and opened it, glancing over it. It was an official Adventure Guild mission with a one hundred gold reward. It started in two days, plenty of time for her to prepare. "Hmmm.... Sure. Thanks," she gave the man a nod. "Who are you, anyways?" she asked, but he left without so much as a word. "Weird," she mumbled, but shrugged it off and looked back at the scroll. "Seriously, though. Who goes into a place called the Forest of No Return? And what did anyone really expect to happen when people entered there?" she wondered aloud before shaking her head lightly. Whatever. It was a mission, and the reward was good, so why not?<br/><br/>She tucked the scroll away in her bag, turned, and left the guild, heading home. Once home she did as she had been planning to, she made some food. While the food cooked, she also worked on preparing some potions. She wouldn't want to run out of anything on a mission, after all.
