The atmosphere inside Black Water was unusually quiet.
Unlike the bustling streets of Mantis Town outside, where merchants continued moving between stalls and awakeners gathered around tables to discuss the latest developments concerning the Crimson Dune.
At the top floor of Black Water, Thoren sat at the center with Celene seated across from him.
Alden and Arwyn, the identical twins who had recently joined Black Water, sat beside her.
The two twins had already become familiar with the organization during their short time, but neither of them had truly understood what Thoren intended for Black Water.
Currently, it was a place where information could be exchanged.
A place where goods could be bought.
A place where people could obtain access to opportunities that had previously been completely inaccessible to them.
And now, with Thoren preparing to leave the second floor, he had decided what kind of organization he wanted Black Water to become.
