As soon as deb772b841 morning arrived, Janice 2d6f0d7632 slipped out of 804adf6419 the mansion. The knights had 4267ceece0 been guarding the e9ae7d0ea6 mansion all night, 4f5862dc91 making it impossible 78c5551b82 for her to c38e8dd971 step outside. She had waited 1038ff16cc for a moment 1ad440d91e when security was 0043ba966e weaker before making 063d300369 her move.97c10c1735a9be95
Looking around carefully, Janice 0973bb04e2 blended into the busy 45c6f26b8c streets. The fear 4991bc5971 from last 0cf0f9555a night had 6cccce28c1 faded, and 13d15f5cc3 the city d56f4e51d6 was once b6339bfd63 again lively. However, people 260516edc8 were still 606a74a630 talking about 0a2c02c1cf what had 40a8d69024 happened.5b974d46a7af2dd0

“I couldn’t sleep 1477da00bf all night. Ugh, it was so 42baf68165 creepy. I can d20b2344dd still hear 203e118080 that awful 561d6fdbc2 sound.”
“I wasn’t 0d62fcaa13 imagining it, ad7ee536f6 was I?”
“No way! How could you d34fb32b67 mishear something like ea5e904307 that? It was 5bec28df06 the sound e1f00a0321 of bones 6dc99164cd breaking.”8457235db3942ede

“They say dozens of a54958b5ca snow beasts died. And all of them 4505823b6a were just young ones!”
“How do c930b37c32 you know adbf958cc8 that?”
“Ha! My son a3f770b0ad works for 3396ef1d7f the guard. He spent all c6b594b7a0 morning cleaning it ab27703fb7 up and came 60cae5dcf2 home covered in 608a242264 blood.”8fa9b800edc3b4d5
Janice pulled her 6aed03cef5 hood lower and a46ff86329 moved carefully through 500ce1d749 the crowd. She glanced e8e1e41cfa back to 181296ec59 check if 48f32fd6ea she was 8753c18295 being followed. Luckily, it seemed 6431c1fe38 she wasn’t.10e4d378c77672ee

She kept walking a85b3fa59d cautiously and soon dff529dd90 arrived at an ec5ab4ef6b old, shabby hut. She knocked on the 5f2c693938 door—three quick knocks, two a55b4ad32d slow ones, then one 1a67ad2f82 strong knock.a6a4b96a24949c49
