One of the Merlurk villages had just locked down for the night, posting guards as look outs and closing off their homes. There were easily five hundred members of the village and a fourth of them, would be standing guard at a time.
This level of security wasn't common a year ago but due to The Breeze, every Merlurk was a paranoid mess. Worried that any mistake could lead them to be consumed by the serial Merlurk murderer.
A figure could be seen coming towards the village from a few hundred meters away. It was only around two meters tall and not very wide, so it wouldn't have been easy to spot, if not for the red aura coming off of it.
There was a feint red glow coming from the figure and it gave those that could see it, a feeling of pure fear.
Once it was only a hundred meters from the first row of guards, terrified voices began to ring through the front lines.
"The Breeze!
"It's the demon!"
"We're all going to die!"
