Abyss Devourers

[What's with the big blue dome?] 

"*Sigh* This is what is protecting our village from a very bad thing."

[It's cracked…that's bad, right?] 

"Yes, but don't worry about it. We'll somehow deal with it."

She is slightly smiling, trying to reassure me. 

[If it is an issue, I could perhaps do something about it?]

They did help me after all. I'm not gonna trust them just yet but if it's something easy I can lend a hand. 

"Don't worry boy. We'll manage, you just recover and find inner peace." 

Sure whatever. I and Wolfie simply stroll around all day long. That is when I notice something strange. There are no children at all. None! Only old people or middle-aged men. I could try my best to slowly investigate it. There is bound to be a hidden secret. But nope, I simply go back to that lady's place. 

"Welcome back, how was your walk?" 

She's smiling. 

[Hey, why are there no children?]
