After successfully registering Kaedin, Jorin, Elira, Thrain, and the others as official adventurers of the Blackrose Family, a sense of unity and purpose filled the air. Then Elara the receptionist asked if i were to form a party i need to register ourselves in the guild and what will the name of our party.

Einz pondered for a moment, then his face lit up with a newfound determination. "I have," he replied with a sense of conviction. Einz turned to his party and said "From this day forward, we shall be known as the 'Blackrose Family.' The black rose symbolizes our resilience, our determination, and the beauty we find in each other. Together, we'll face the challenges that lie ahead, and we'll emerge victorious, no matter the odds."

His words were met with nods of approval and smiles from his companions. The name resonated with them, signifying not only their unity but also their strength.

With that, the Blackrose Family was officially born. They knew that their adventures would be filled with trials and tribulations, but they were ready to face them together, as a family.

With their registration complete, the Blackrose Family set out into the streets of Havenmoor. Einz felt a sense of pride and responsibility for his new companions, knowing that their journey was only beginning.

Havenmoor's market was a bustling hub of activity, with merchants peddling their wares, townsfolk haggling for goods, and a general atmosphere of vibrant commerce. The Blackrose Family wandered through the stalls, taking in the sights and sounds of their new surroundings.

Einz noticed a group of children playing near a fountain, their laughter echoing through the square. He couldn't help but smile at the scene.

Einz: (reflecting) "Life here seems so different from the forest I came from."

As they continued, they stumbled upon a group of bards performing lively tunes in a corner of the market. The music drew a small crowd, and Isabella, who had a carefree spirit, couldn't resist joining in.

Elira: (swaying to the music) "This is fantastic! Come on, everyone, let's dance!"

The Blackrose Family soon found themselves dancing to the lively melodies, much to the amusement of the onlookers. Lucius, usually reserved, couldn't help but tap his foot to the rhythm.

Jorin: (smirking) "I must admit, this is rather enjoyable."

After the impromptu dance, they resumed their exploration of the market. Thrain, the eldest member of the group, had been observing Einz's leadership and couldn't help but speak up.

Thrain: (approaching Einz) "You seem like a capable leader, master. What's your plan for our party?"

Einz: (thoughtful) "I want us to be known as a force for good. We'll take on quests that help people and protect those who can't protect themselves. And Stop calling me master "

Thrain nodded in approval, his wisdom shining through. They continued through the market, bonding as a newly formed family of adventurers.

Thrain: "Then i'll call you boss."

Einz: ".... Fine"

As evening approached, the Blackrose Family decided to treat themselves to a meal at a local tavern. Einz raised his glass in a toast.

Einz: "To new beginnings and the adventures that lie ahead!"

The clinking of glasses marked the beginning of their journey as the Blackrose Family.

Einz took a sip from his tankard, his eyes gleaming with a sense of adventure. The tavern had grown quieter as patrons turned their attention to the young adventurer. He cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Two days before I met the Redstone Party," Einz started, "I was on a solo expedition in the heart of these very woods." He gestured to the forest beyond the tavern's windows. "I came across a cave, much like the one we're in now, hidden between two imposing rocks."

The audience leaned in, captivated by Einz's tale.

"But what I found inside was not treasure or relics," Einz continued, "It was a Rock Bear, a massive and ferocious creature. Its fur was grey like the stone it was named after, and it stood at a staggering 20 feet tall on its hind legs."

Gasps of awe and concern filled the tavern as Einz described the imposing beast.

"I tried to fight it," Einz admitted, "But the battle was fierce, but.. I ran way because it became enraged. Its fur stood on end, its fangs grew larger, and its eyes turned a fiery red." It chased me relentlessly through these woods, and at one point,

The audience was now hanging on every word, their imaginations painting vivid pictures of the harrowing encounter. then bursting in laughter

Einz paused for dramatic effect before revealing the twist. "That Rock Bear, the one I barely escaped from, is the same one you fought together with me when we met when the caravan was attacked."

The revelation sent shockwaves through the tavern. The Redstone Party exchanged glances, recalling their own fierce battle with the enraged Rock Bear.

Kallen, the leader of the Redstone Party, chimed in with a grin. "Well, Einz, it seems like that bear has a bone to pick with adventurers. Maybe it just has a bad temper."

Einz: "Maybe."

Elira, the twin of Jorin, laughed. "Or maybe it has a taste for thrilling encounters. It's like the forest's own celebrity."

Jorin, the silent and observant member of the Redstone Party, nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's not every day you get to battle a Rock Bear and live to tell the tale."

Einz: "Stop it you two."

Kallen, always the joker of the group, couldn't resist. "So, Einz, did you try to reason with the bear? Maybe it just needed a friend?"

Einz:(Sarcasticlly) "Hahah... Very funny kallen..

Elira, with a mischievous grin, added, "Or perhaps it mistook you for a fellow forest creature? You do have that wild adventurer look, you know."

Jorin, known for his dry humor, quipped, "I bet it was the bear's first attempt at making a new friend. 'Let's scare this human for fun,' it thought."

Einz joined in the laughter, grateful for the camaraderie of his fellow adventurers. The tavern resounded with merriment as tales of adventure and humor flowed freely.

As Einz regaled the tavern with his Rock Bear encounter, the atmosphere grew even livelier. The Redstone Party joined in with their own stories, and soon, it felt like a grand storytelling competition.

Kallen, in particular, was in high spirits. He leaned over the table towards Elara, the guild receptionist, flashing his most charming smile. "You know, Elara," he began with a twinkle in his eye, "I've always believed that adventurers and receptionists have a special connection. After all, you're the first face I see before and after I embark on daring quests."

Elara chuckled, her eyes softening as she looked at Kallen. "Indeed, Kallen, and you adventurers bring a whirlwind of excitement into our lives. But remember, sweet talk won't get you better quests!"

Kallen winked at her and sipped his drink, the love between them evident to everyone in the room.

Meanwhile, Jorin found himself in a lively conversation with Thrain. They exchanged war stories, each trying to outdo the other with tales of their daring exploits. It wasn't long before they had the attention of nearby patrons, who couldn't help but laugh at their competitive camaraderie.

On another table, Elira and Lyra struck up a conversation about magic. They discussed spells, incantations, and even shared a friendly magical duel right in the middle of the tavern, to the amusement of everyone present.

Isabella, always up for a challenge, had a drinking contest with some of the local patrons. It didn't take long for her to become the life of the party, encouraging others to join in on the fun.

As the night wore on, and the drinks flowed freely, the tales became taller and the laughter louder. Patrons from all corners of the tavern joined in the festivities, making it a night to remember.

When the evening drew to a close, Einz and his newly formed Blackrose Family said their goodbyes. Kallen and Elara, left the tavern with intertwined fingers, leaving behind warm smiles and waves.

Isabella, showing her strength, slung a somewhat tipsy Lucius over her shoulder like a sack, much to the amusement of onlookers. The sight of the carefree Lucius, limbs dangling comically, brought raucous laughter from the crowd.

With their bonds deepened and their spirits high, the group made their way to the inn, their laughter and camaraderie echoing through the night.

And so, as the moon hung high in the sky, Einz and his Blackrose Family retired to their rooms, content with the adventures they had shared and those that lay ahead.
