  Lorty and Karen were currently hiding in an alleyway a few dozen feet away. Karen had led Lorty to one of the poorer areas of the commoner district. It had taken them most of the day to arrive and the sun was already beginning to set.

  "What's the plan?" Karen asked. She kept fidgeting, worried for her mother and little sister. Were they alright? Were they hurt? ...Were they alive?

  "I'm going to wait until it gets dark, then I'm going to sneak into the house," Lorty said.

"But what about my family? We can't just wait out here doing nothing!" She snapped.

  "If I go in now they'll see me coming and we aren't going to do anything. Last I checked, you can't fight. You'll just be a hindrance to me. You should leave before it gets dark, don't trust the sentinels around here. Some have been malfunctioning and I don't know if they have been fixed yet."
