The year passed swiftly, and the Candy people proved to be delightful guests. However, their departure was met with a tinge of sadness among those who had developed friendships with them. Nonetheless, we bid them farewell with a memorable send-off party.

The return to routine was inevitable, and soon Frostholm resumed its usual pace. As for me, I embarked on a quest to level up with renewed determination. Venturing into the Nightosphere, I engaged in battles against demons and other monsters, halting my magical studies temporarily. Despite the modest experience gained from these encounters, I persisted, knowing that every bit of experience counted towards my goal.

It was during one of these ventures that I received a summons from a city located in the southwest, near the border. Reports of strange occurrences—missing cattle, sudden potholes—had alarmed the residents. Waste no time, I stepped through the portal and found myself in the office of the city's appointed Lord, ready to address what ever they called me for.

"So why did you call me?" I asked towards the Lord who greeted me with a stiff salute as he began to explain that the residents have began to report sightings of small hairy creature that walked on two legs, and how at first he laughed these occurrences off but soon after he found the weird events around the city increasing and getting worse.

Instead of potholes the foundation of many buildings began to suddenly weaken as they collapsed, cattle who previously would disappear probably once every weak now disappear in the dozens making a sizeable dent in the farmers cattle population and finally the sightings of the hairy creature have increased drastically as almost 2/3rds of the city could say the saw one.

As the Lord detailed the unsettling events unfolding in the city, I listened intently, absorbing every detail. The sightings of these small, bipedal creatures, coupled with the escalating incidents of structural collapses and the disappearance of livestock, painted a troubling picture. It was evident that something sinister was afoot, and it demanded immediate investigation.

"Have you taken any measures to address these issues?" I inquired, seeking to understand the extent of their efforts to mitigate the situation.

The Lord sighed heavily before responding, explaining that they had deployed additional patrols to monitor the city and investigate the sightings. However, their efforts had yielded little success in apprehending or identifying the source of the disturbances.

As I patrolled the city night after night, my efforts to uncover the source of the disturbances remained fruitless. The tunnels hinted at a hidden network beneath the city's surface, but their purpose and origin remained elusive. Despite increased vigilance and patrols, the elusive creatures continued to evade capture, leaving a sense of unease lingering over the city.

Then, disaster struck.

Reports flooded in of a sudden and catastrophic collapses of major buildings all over the city i. Buildings crumbled, streets buckled, and chaos ensued as panicked residents fled for safety. then came a enemy I least expected to see in the these hundreds of years Ive been alive.
