Sudden Tension
Leon leapt out of bed like a mad man and rushed to the window. Peering out, he immediately spotted a giant fire at the gates of the fortress city. The wyverns that rested at the barracks by the gates were taking off into the air with their riders on them.
'Something big is going on.' He thought to himself before spinning around nd bolting out of the room. It only took a few seconds for him to find himself back down in the bustling tavern where warriors and mages were preparing themselves for a battle. Everyone knew that such explosions were just signals for bad news.
"Leon!" Nedra hurried over with Curtis' group right behind her.
"The city is under attack." Leon said simply, "I saw a fire at the city gates."
"Let's check it out." Curtis proposed.
"No, young master. We must not get involved in any of these petty feuds." Benny immediately tried to dissuade him.
