Golden but Poor!

The City of Runes was surrounded by forests. Looking down from the high places in the city, the white city was surrounded by a dense green. However, now, a conspicuous, empty path appeared in the forest.

Smoke rose in the rain, and the residents of the City of Runes could see it clearly from afar.

"What happened there?"

"The faint sound of explosions kept coming from that direction earlier. Could the Iron Fire Castle have launched an attack?"

"I woke up to arrange the goods before sunrise, and do you know what I saw? Groups of Rune Guards walking into the forest in that exact direction."

Seeing the smoke from far away, the City of Runes' residents wondered what had happened. The intel regarding an alien appearing had yet to spread.

"It's him… it must be him…" In the crowd, a short and skinny man was terrified. The people around him noticed his reaction and guessed that this person might know something, so they asked him about it.
