Zairon leaned back in his seat, eyes scanning the faces of the group with a mischievous glint. The soft clinking of cutlery and hushed chatter around them filled the air, but he was in his own world, plotting the next move.
"So, what do you say, ladies?" he said, his tone teasing yet earnest. "Are you more greedy than this?" He leaned in closer, a sly grin spreading across his face. "Ready for more missions? More fun? More adventure?"
The four of them exchanged glances, amused by his boldness. Mira, the silver-haired mage, raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued by his challenge.
"You always make it sound like it's some grand treasure hunt, Zairon," she teased, sipping her tea.
Zairon chuckled, waving a hand dismissively. "Well, it's more than just treasure hunts, isn't it? It's about power. Glory. The thrill of pushing boundaries. We could conquer this city… then move on to the next… the next…" His voice trailed off, as though savoring the very idea of limitless expansion.
"Isn't that a bit much?" Lin, the assassin, asked, but there was a twinkle in her eye. "Even for someone like you?"
Zairon leaned forward, locking eyes with her. "Too much?" He grinned. "I'm just getting started. But the question is: are you ready to come along for the ride?"
He turned his attention to the other two. "I mean, we're just getting warmed up. We've only scratched the surface. What if I told you the real fun, the real adventure, lies far beyond the city walls? Far beyond even this world? A new frontier awaits… with new challenges, new beasts, and yes, new power."
The table fell silent for a moment as his words hung in the air. Zairon's gaze swept over them all, his expression intense, urging them to envision something far greater than their current paths.
"We've got everything we need. Resources, strength, ambition. And more than that…" Zairon's voice dropped to a low murmur, as if sharing a secret. "We've got each other. That's what'll make us unstoppable. What do you say? Are you ready to seize what's next? Or is this the limit for you?"
The four of them exchanged looks once more. Mira, Lin, and the others could feel the surge of excitement, the pull of something bigger, more dangerous, and more thrilling than they had ever known. They had tasted the edge of power already. Now, they were standing on the precipice.
"You never stop, do you?" Mira smiled, her eyes glimmering. "Alright. What's next, Zairon?"
Zairon's grin stretched wider, knowing he had them hooked. "Let's go make our mark on the world. We're just getting started."
