[Horn Lizard Town]
Walking on the street, humans and Horn Lizard Men could feel the rising tension in the air.
The bustling atmosphere that usually filled the streets had noticeably changed.
Many merchants had already begun packing away their goods, while passing awakeners instinctively tightened their grips on their weapons.
"What is going on?" an ordinary looking woman asked her friend.
"I don't know, but I don't think it is anything good," her friend responded in a grim voice.
She looked over her shoulder and saw a group of men walking briskly toward them.
Their expressions were grim, their weapons out in the open.
Their hurried footsteps echoed across the stone street, causing many pedestrians to instinctively step aside.
"We need to leave the street," she spoke, her voice solemn.
Without waiting for her friend to ask what was going on, she dragged her inside a merchant store.
