Today. She knew or rather sensed something was going to happen, that something was going to come and disturb the peace. She couldn’t explain it but she was stuck on this feeling. Standing outside on the balcony overlooking the city she stared out with determination to stop the beasts when they arrived. To see what their targets were and how long she could work against them.
The first scream of surprise cut through the morning like a knife and alerted the demi-human to the vast swath of beasts that crawled out of the sewers. Small and multiple in number it seemed to her that she would be dealing with a horde rather than a few large ones. Smart to spread it out given their last… ‘fight’.
She’d hop off of the balcony; at first not seeming in a rush. But as she neared the ground she grew impatient, Spinning and using her spear to launch herself away from the rune knight headquarters. A place that felt just as much as a guard post as a prison to her sometimes. Like she wasn’t free to do what she needed to.
Each scream told her of a life lost and spurned her on. She had already stationed her knights throughout the district and she knew they’d be hard at work protecting the civilians. Hopefully they wouldn’t get overwhelmed by the numbers she could sense…
