Fear
( A common citizen's POV )
The entire city of Thumba was thrown into disarray upon the sighting of the dragon.
Some people began locking themselves in their houses, hoping that a roof and brick walls would keep them safe against the dragon's attacks, while the others took their valuables and started to flee towards the city's exit.
However, true chaos erupted when the dragon launched its assault on the Duke's manor. It was only when the citizens witnessed the beast unleash its dragon breath upon the manor that a wave of pure terror swept through the streets of Thumba.
The Duke's Manor was known to be a fortress of stone and magic.
Before the Southern Duchy was a part of the Unity Empire, this manor belonged to Duke Nico's ancestors who were powerful mages and had constructed the Manor with the use of magic stones and powerful inscriptions that were supposed to help the manor withstand sieges and the onslaught of enemy mage spells.
