Coming out
Velian stood atop the sturdy wall, his eyes darting across the darkened forest. It was a restless day, and the air was thick with an eerie silence that seemed to press down upon him like a heavyweight, but the undead kept advancing so he had no time to motivation to real even a little bit.
As he gazed out into the darkness, he saw something that made him realise things are getting serious.
A group of undead creatures was emerging from the forest, their ragged forms shuffling slowly towards the town.
But as he looked closer, he noticed something else. A young woman was following them from behind, her face contorted with anger and determination and it obviously looked like she was their leader because of how much she stood out.
Velian couldn't quite place where he had seen her before, but there was something familiar about her features.
