"Oh?" murmured Evelyne dreamily. "Already?"

Myrdana's group rode in through the gate and immediately sat off their horses looking for a nearby city guard.

"You need to sound the bells!" exclaimed Hildi, the young Nord woman. "We've got a horde incoming!"

"A horde? Of... of what?!"

"Of goats", sighed Havel the Bosmer. "No, you idiot! Beasts! They are on their way here!"

The guard began to shake in his boots. To think that this morning had started out like any other and today... it felt like his entire world was ending.

"Do you hear me?!" said the Bosmer sternly. "Ring the fucking bells! Get everyone in the guard ready for a fight!"

"Y-yes", said the guard, his voice failing to remain calm and steady.

Ran'Jinro exited the inn, adjusting his cloak as he approached Myrdana Lammus' group. "Ran'Jinro, hunter veteran of the Beast Slayers", he introduced himself. "We were sent here to engage in a join-cooperation with Myrdana Lammus. Where is she?"

"No time for that!" hissed Hildi. "Beasts are approaching!"

Ran furrowed his brows. This day certainly couldn't get any better. "How many?"

"Far too many for this city to handle, that's for sure!" said Havel sternly. "We need more Beast Slayers here, this very fucking instant!"

"I will fetch my people immediately", he said, feeling how his heart sunk down into his right boot.

"Hey, it's our people!" said Beatrix. "Let's go down. I am sure this will be a moment of celebration!"

Myrdana spurred Evangelion harder, creating as much distance as she could between herself and the Beasts behind her. It couldn't be more than an hour left before an attack against Dive Rock was imminent and unavoidable.

She could see the city in the distance, hoping that everyone was preparing for battle stations.

"Wasn't that hard, huh?" shrugged Falana as they exited the office. "You handled that just fine. Sharpen those speechcraft skills of yours and you could have robbed him blind."
