The noisy revelry of the Boar Hat fades into background static as I sit, utterly bored by Escanor's latest amorous poetry. A sudden recollection cuts through the tedium: disturbing rumors of a sorceress attacking civilians in Liones. I do not hesitate. In the space between heartbeats, I teleport, the familiar warmth of the tavern dissolving into the cool, tense air of the city's central plaza. My gaze sweeps the surroundings, magical senses already probing for the signature of the threat. The innocents here will be protected.
