The Mercenary and his Witch [Part 1]

In a self-ruled city bustling with trade and shadowed by legends, five council leaders—heroes of old—preside over a place once saved from a wicked dragon, now locked away in a fiery dimension. By night, the Bear’s Claw Tavern fills with mercenaries and adventurers, including Ash, a former knight-turned-mercenary, and his enigmatic partner, Scarlet, a witch with powers both deadly and unseen. When a mysterious job offering a fortune appears on the city’s notice board, Ash’s hunger for adventure outweighs his suspicions. Together, he and Scarlet set out, but beneath the promise of gold lies something far darker.
