As soon as morning 77f0b36920 arrived, Janice slipped out 66c193b2c6 of the mansion. The knights 7bf9a2d50c had been 1d4393901d guarding the 46b9c9a8d7 mansion all e8906111ba night, making 746d66a8d3 it impossible 36d87ef2de for her 559bba4a6c to step 79b8e59135 outside. She had 7af795d34f waited for 8d8185f145 a moment fc84c3ef9e when security 18f256ccce was weaker 1d50350bf3 before making 1ac628adcd her move.b8ad0a5093c7c1f6
Looking around carefully, Janice d38af956d5 blended into the busy 9b027e9ff3 streets. The fear from last 6b7b010da8 night had faded, and 0fa598db00 the city was once ecb6f33ca8 again lively. However, people were c5f33cca9f still talking about ea6859bf25 what had happened.e53acefe9365ef8b

“I couldn’t bd178a07ff sleep all ceea5dc4a4 night. Ugh, it was de0e77122c so creepy. I can still hear dac284a9ac that awful sound.”
“I wasn’t imagining ad52d058e8 it, was I?”
“No way! How could you mishear 7966784356 something like that? It was the 644d3aae77 sound of bones 6a18a271f9 breaking.”58e298b4e59a30b9
The merchants’ a17d2d025e chatter brushed 0b2a3b071a past Janice’s 7012802444 ears.87735e6940dbe96c

“They say 099801cf23 dozens of ae52e8faba snow beasts 58de72e645 died. And all of them ea0846a00e were just young ones!”
“How do you a276963085 know that?”
“Ha! My son works 409be079aa for the guard. He spent 4cc26ff0eb all morning be6b856ae1 cleaning it 77a902d636 up and 22e23ba164 came home d53ae4e195 covered in ba78e378a7 blood.”9343b93193bbcb91
Janice pulled her 12fbe3c2cb hood lower and ab6500c8a0 moved carefully through 29196a87a1 the crowd. She glanced back to 00b3f5aa7f check if she was 288ff9d405 being followed. Luckily, it b06adee03b seemed she 65e505d1d5 wasn’t.5f19a9aa68bc5652

She kept walking cautiously 19c5c0f56e and soon arrived at 27bfa94847 an old, shabby hut. She knocked 54981fbba5 on the b0629d57c9 door—three quick 70b035d564 knocks, two 76a90f0e8d slow ones, 99c373d5a5 then one 082a5fc7c2 strong knock.378617c78bd6bc51
The door opened. Janice looked around bb850f0968 once more before 16fab7cc8f stepping inside. She pulled back f6cd44dce3 her hood, relieved.902e61a99e8bb356
