[Mattius]

Jack looked out of the window above the town. The streets were desolate at this time, a couple of hours before sunrise. The sky was overcast and rain seemed likely. Jack turned back, he was fully clothed and packed, the excitement of a real journey into the unknown had whetted his appetite. Only yesterday he was resigned to living out a meaningless existence on the city guard, but no longer.

As he walked down the corridor he knocked on each of the groups door calling inside,

"Awake! Sunrise is close and we should be ready to set off!"

Most of the others were already getting ready except Rosfin who could be heard snoring from the streets below. Jack made sure to give his door a louder thud and was sure he heard the poor dwarf fall off his rather too tall bed. Fortunately the dwarf's curses were not as loud as his snoring.

Jack prepared a breakfast for them as he waited for them to come down the stairs. The first one to appear was Jadae looking nervous but excited.

"Today’s the day! Eat well before the off good smith!"

Jadae nodded in appreciation before tucking into the speciality of the house- bacon butties!
