The Dance of Sword and Rain

If Kael wanted to describe the state of the town in one word, it would be... chaos.

People were shivering inside their homes. There were bodies of some people who had been caught in the flood. Some houses made of wood seemed to have been completely destroyed.

But Kael didn't care about any of that. He just walked.

He didn't know why, but no soldiers tried to stop him. He had expected the man in black to grab him by the neck and throw him back, but that didn't happen. And... he kept walking.

Finally, when he came to one of the clearings that could be called the center of the town, his steps slowed down.
