[Now Playing: Theme of ?? ~Those Who Sow Darkness~]As the students approach the village outskirts, you hear....nothing.
Thankfully, you remember, it's because most of the villagers have been evacuated to safety; indeed, you can see, in the roads leading towards the town proper, the backs of people fleeing from the Fiends, armored Order troopers keeping them safe. No civilian casualties, you hope.
Still, the scene is eerie. The village looks to have been in the middle of an average day before its peace was disturbed by the arrival of monsters. A bunch of hoops and sticks lie abandoned by the children playing with them not an hour before, as baskets of clothes and buckets of water lie spilt and scattered upon the dirt. The faint, scratchy noises of a radio left on playing Lin and Vicky's most recent album can be heard from some house, presumably left on by someone who'd left in a hurry. The noise of a farmer's tractor can be heard, the engine still chugging on oblivious to its driver having abandoned it to run to safety.
Nearby, you can hear the sniffing, growling and snarling, unnaturally deep and with a faint echo. The Fiends are close, along with their supposed accomplices.
The ground faintly rumbles.
"I see we have visitors."A deep, smooth voice emerges from the treeline. As you look towards it, you see a man in black armor, a sword faintly glowing red. His skin is tanned, a few scars and nicks marring it. His hair is a dark crimson, matching his eyes. Large, ivory-feathered wings protrude from his back, marking him as a Salis. Though you know that Salis wings are incapable of flight, the man is flying, his wings flapping as if propelling him; you conclude this may possibly a consequence of his Arte.
He studies you icily, but does not move to attack you.
"Are you pawns of the Order?"
