148 The Nobles Attack

Although it was now rather late, the streets were still surprisingly crowded, although the number of wagons on the street diminished by quite a bit. And it seemed the few who were still around had either just returned from making a last minute delivery to other settlements, or had just made it to the city to rest for the night before setting out the next morning.

Although the street was illuminated by lanterns and the light leaking from the various buildings that lined them, the streets were oddly dark, and this wasn't just because it was night time. After glancing at the sky for a moment, Merlin noticed that it was because the moon was being blocked by large dark clouds that were looming overhead.

'Oh, great.' Merlin thought to himself as he quickened his pace as he made his way towards the slums.

He eventually made his way into the slums, but as he traversed the glum streets, he became the witness of a strange sight.
