A Disturbed Night, The Attack of [Mechids] in Codon Settlement

Day 251 - 11:58 PM - Codon Settlement, Barangay Codon, Municipality of San Andres, Province of Catanduanes

Nighttime should be the time of rest for people. But in the current Codon Settlement, it was when the unrest would escalate. The settlement was dark, only lit by torches made from cans containing grass or animal. Of course, these torches barely emitted light and would not contribute much to the people's mental well-being during the night.

Despite living in a settlement, many people would rather stay awake at night, looking after their family and belongings. The enemies were not only outside the flimsy walls but also inside, and one slight lapse in their guards could result in the loss of their things, or worse, their people.

Because Codon Settlement had fallen into the hands of the mercenaries, security was not that tight. Worse, those who now ruled this settlement were the ones who would take advantage of its people the most.
