As soon as morning 973cebb3ba arrived, Janice slipped out 84d896d8ea of the mansion. The knights had bf013daeba been guarding the 15cae3b4a3 mansion all night, 0fbc185e08 making it impossible 4eef75f5cf for her to cadff49399 step outside. She had waited for 290f82b8a3 a moment when security f45f9319f5 was weaker before making 094f67a6bf her move.d7d9962c1937df5f
Looking around carefully, Janice 8a92847d79 blended into the busy b68c7a156d streets. The fear 1ae21cd7ec from last 4a8b2cacdd night had b28f6b8c2b faded, and e58d2811d5 the city ba1b0abb0e was once 1e57accb89 again lively. However, people 635eb3f8e0 were still cce2bc6f43 talking about 61c3954337 what had 99d120e746 happened.29cb1ecd1e6e0256

“I couldn’t sleep all 00f78591fc night. Ugh, it b48e50021e was so 00576998e4 creepy. I can 4cd5fe9a0d still hear 400f3ca3d5 that awful aa6660b63b sound.”
“I wasn’t imagining 00a0c78372 it, was I?”
“No way! How could you mishear 88e93c5fd5 something like that? It was 81061f6e73 the sound f5290cab84 of bones 837bec461b breaking.”451c3034dbe24073

“They say a7b654e30f dozens of efe7f7f184 snow beasts c27e0589e4 died. And all of 6461b8f6d6 them were just a3d658ffc9 young ones!”
“How do you know 809e38e902 that?”
“Ha! My son works df76aa7246 for the guard. He spent all morning 775b27ee5e cleaning it up and d2992854b3 came home covered in f6333f15b4 blood.”67c5797bfa54eb91
Janice pulled her hood b8bfb7384a lower and moved carefully 4f43b59a9d through the crowd. She glanced back bdc9a57259 to check if b02f0208a5 she was being 530ba035a5 followed. Luckily, it 7c27546096 seemed she 1a153d922d wasn’t.c99f0acb285b44fd

She kept walking f90f87b95a cautiously and soon 568f8b1fbc arrived at an 4c2aca30ed old, shabby hut. She knocked 067c11c1d9 on the dbc6d4c909 door—three quick 9bfa90c237 knocks, two 5e6c64e2cb slow ones, 7d13926a58 then one c0e2fc26c0 strong knock.f8ea17c8bfb71bfa
The door opened. Janice looked dabb2ed85a around once e46ae6e5f3 more before acc3251ba7 stepping inside. She pulled 00e13dd98a back her 578b90b05b hood, relieved.d64c09fe34cc3e97
