Turning the Tide, part 1/5

POV RadiantHero:

RadiantHero, fully clad in the heavy-looking plate armour, entered Azerlisia town, the hooves of his horse tapping on a cobblestone road under him.

The streets of the town weren't bustling as those in the county capital, but plenty of people still walked through the streets.

'I need to collect more information before rushing into the forest.'

His eyes suddenly fell upon a large flat space before a large stone building with barred windows. A large mass of something that looked like cooled-down lava was spilled all over the yard.

It was obvious to him that it signified some strong magma spell exploding in the middle of the town.

'What happened here? Something evil must be going on in the barony.' Then he clenched his armoured greaves, metal loudly screeching, causing surrounding civilians to back away in fear, 'And these maniacs in masks joined it voluntarily... causing mayhem and killing innocent. I must stop them.'
