Elion looked over the manor's exterior, noticing the mossy texture clinging to parts of the walls that stood out prominently.
Compared to the other estates that they had passed, this one felt less maintained. It wasn't so bad as to say it was neglected, but he could definitely say with a bit of certainty that it was not pristine.
The grounds told the same story. They were not overgrown, but not meticulously kept either. It had character and a quiet kind of disregard for appearances.
Soon enough, they walked up to the door.
Alexander stepped forward and pressed his thumb against an oval-shaped device mounted on the wall beside it. It had a small metal grill embedded into its surface.
A sharp beep echoed the moment he made contact.
They waited, and a few seconds passed in silence before the pleasant sound of a woman's voice crackled to life from the device.
"Welcome to the Odin Estate. How can I help you today?"
