New Hallandren, Alleycity
Itsuki left the building that he had to call home for the time being, and began to walk to the restaurant he called Work. He did not get far, though, before he heard screaming.
Why were people screaming?
Itsuki had never liked screaming, it was always so distracting and annoying. But if this many people were screaming, then there had to be a reason for it.
He tapped a random person on the back. “Excuse me,” he asked, “but do you know what happened? Why everybody’s yelling?”
“Attack in the Mistwarrens! Death! Destruction! Evil!” The person ran away from Itsuki, towards the edge of the city, perhaps trying to leave.
An attack…, Itsuki thinks to himself. Perhaps this meant that he didn’t have to do work today. Perhaps he could just go back home and nap. But no. Boss wouldn’t like it. And unfortunately Itsuki had to walk through the Mistwarrens to get to the restaurant in Mistkeep. Lucky him.
Lucky him.
