As Elric's voice echoed through the streets of Dawnstar, it was as if time stood still for all of the people that were going about their day. As most of them stopped what they were doing, some even dropping whatever was in their hands, as if frozen in fear. The setting sun cast the massive shadow of the Odin across the entire port city, so the sight of it along with the loud booming voice Elric used had frozen the ordinary folks in their tracks. It took most of the adults a few seconds to regain their composer enough to move. However as the minutes began to slowly tick by, no movement could be seen on the north side of the harbor.
Five minutes passed with not a single ship moving.
Ten minutes passed, and only a few small boats could be seen moving between the docks, and anchored ships in the harbor.
