The Hidden Little Tavern

Deep in a dark, silent alley stands an unassuming little tavern. It is a tavern that connects all the worlds, one that exists in the extraordinary realms only as a legend. The kind-faced owner watches as a guest approaches at an unhurried pace, accompanied by the clear chime of the wind bell. He slowly takes a glass from beneath the bar and sets it on the table. As the clear sound of pouring liquid rings out, the rich aroma of liquor fills the room. The owner's voice follows: "Honored guest, drink the glass before you and tell me your story."
