The light of dawn granted a light orange hue to the environment. The sun rose behind the Mystic tower ahead of the two Lamia Scale mages, who walked in its shadow. The haunting silhouette appeared monstrous due to the architecture of the building. Black tendrils curled upwards along the sides of the dark spire, and by some trick of the light the tendrils seemed to sway. Why anyone would go there willingly was beyond Shen, but it was their duty to go there and save those trapped inside of it. Not only the daughter of the client who hired them, Shen was set on saving everyone from whatever it was inside that captured their minds. "I doubt this will be easy for you, Quincy. Are you certain you're ready?" Shen would ask his disciple calmly.
Though Shen had only recently joined the Guild, he'd proven his skills to them and immediately took on the duties of a mentor. There were many in the Guild that needed guidance, and Shen felt compelled to lend a guiding hand. His calm nature made him an excellent teacher and the maiden beside him possessed magic that was complementary to his own. It seemed a good match, and thus Shen decided to test his new disciple with a mission beyond her capability. "I'll see you through it, no harm will come to you, but nevertheless, it will not be easy." Shen spoke plainly. He did not intend for her to succeed in this mission on her own, but simply demonstrate her conviction and strengthen her will.
