Aurelion turned toward the voice that had come from behind him.
Leaning against the doorframe with a faint, knowing smile was a woman of stunning beauty. Her skin was the color of dusky rose, a stark contrast to her flowing white clothes and the white fur cloak draped over her shoulders. She was a Dark Elf, and as Aurelion's eyes met hers, he felt a slight jolt of surprise.
The receptionist, immediately bowed her head. "Guild Leader."
"A Dark Elf as the Guild Leader?" Aurelion thought, his mind instantly flashing to Vespera. "First the information broker, now this."
Guild Leader turned her gaze to the receptionist. "Thank you, Gisela. You may leave."
"Of course, Guild Leader," Gisela said, giving Aurelion one last curious glance before quickly departing down the corridor.
Nylessa's attention returned to Aurelion. "This lazy oaf doesn't usually get many visitors," she said, nodding toward the slumbering Faelan. She glided closer to Aurelion. "I am Nylessa Aduialel."
