After reaching back to his modest outer sect cottage, John let out a slow, tired breath and closed the door behind him.
The soft click of the wooden latch echoed in the silence of the room.
He removed his outer robes and tossed them to the side, then sat heavily on the edge of his bed.
His heart still beat with traces of the earlier tension.
That conversation with Elder Tenfires… the gamble he took, it was all riding on this one moment.
John closed his eyes and muttered, "Open panel."
A crisp light flashed in front of his vision as the familiar system interface appeared.
