Bailiff Xarles knelt inside his house and prayed. He prayed to the Tree of Woe to protect him from harm. He prayed to the Mother Goddesses to keep the monster away from his house.
He was needed. For the town. And for Eldoria. He shouldn't be killed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Xarles' entire body jerked back in fear.
"Bailiff Xarles! It is me, priest Xeros."
Xarles calmed down. He went to the door and took a peek through the small peephole.
"Priest Xeros. Why are you here? You should have stayed inside the church! The Night Creature can come at any time!"
"I have urgent matters, Bailiff!"
Xeros stepped back and revealed two people behind him. One man and one woman. The man had long white hair with a unique iron mask on his face. The woman had long blonde hair.
"This is Lord Nyx and his companion, Rea. They would like to discuss with you about the creature of the night."
"What is even there to discuss?! Tell them to get away from this town while they still can!"
