The desolate streets of Hannes City looked awfully eerie tonight. The only source of light was the many lampposts that continued to flicker on and off.
With no one to replenish the oil, the lampposts wouldn't last for long, and soon the city would be submerged in complete darkness. And it sure didn't help that the moons weren't visible tonight.
The city guards that were accompanying Adam could feel the chill pervading the air tonight. But it wasn't the chill that made them feel cold, but something that ignited a spark of fear in their hearts. The fear of the unknown.
One of them looked at Adam who was walking in front and asked in a hushed tone, "Lord Adam… I… I have this strange, ominous feeling. I don't know what it is…"
The other guard chimed in with a nervous expression. "I feel it too. The city feels… different tonight."
