Ech woke with a start, panting heavily and sweating.

They looked around their room with wide eyes, before relaxing slightly and groaning.

"Damn nightmares..." They muttered, swinging their legs over their bed to get up.

They put on their clothes, managed to steady their breathing, and sighed, preparing for the day.

They walked into the main room of the guild, almost everyone already awake and ready to take on the day.

"Ech!" Esther called out, smiling warmly as she sat at the main table.
