Beginning: Victoria
Chapter 16
A blue cloaked figure walks across the white stone terrace in front of a potion shop with enormous wings on each side of the circular building. It is passed nightfall and only a few fairies carry about their nightly watch duties as the rest of the city sleeps. The man takes a seat on a bench and gazes at the night sky littered with stars. He silently thanks the fairies for allowing the people refuge in their city. But how long would it last until the entire tower is breached? He is aware that the enemy's forces have become a menace that they are unable to handle alone. The dispute between the forces is endangering the entire island. The once peaceful island has been shaken. The conflict between the Jakum and Skill Eaters has turned the once calm icy fields of Ossyria into a land where the smell of death lingers constantly in the air.
The cloaked man looks from under his hood as 3 more figures approach the benches next to the potion shop.
"You have come," says the man standing. "To have made you come from El Nath to join me, I assure you I have an important matter to discuss."
"What information has your reconnaissance mission uncovered?" asks a soft woman's voice.
"I believe it is time we contacted Victoria," says the man.
"We have been on shaky grounds with the leaders of Victoria," says the woman's voice again. "I do not want to rely on them for our own problems."
The man takes a deep breath.
"A Ship has been taken from the port and has reportedly set course to Victoria a few days ago," says the man. "A skill eater was on it."
