Felgura City
Aizel leaned in closer to Daisy, sensing she had something important to tell him.
"We have some company," Daisy warned.
Aizel's eyes darted back and forth as he searched his surroundings for potential threats.
He gathered the kids behind him in a practiced motion, making a protective barrier. He automatically summoned his sword, ready to defend himself against any threat lurking around.
Aizel's attention was drawn to the rustling of leaves and twigs. His keen eyes swept the surroundings and observed many individuals coming from the bushes. The group of seven men wore leather armor and gripped their weapons tightly as they advanced toward them.
"They don't seem strong; at least there is no mage among them," Daisy whispered.
"Should I knock them quickly?"
"No wait, let's see what they are here for; we still have kids with us; if we can solve the issue without fighting, that would be good," Daisy said while Aizel nodded.
