[Like most people in Luceti, Saleh recognized the eclipse in the sky as an ill omen. Regardless, what he's seeing now is nothing short of a complete surprise for him.]

By all that's holy… Monsters? In this world? How is this possible??

[No doubt that these are the same fiends that had begun to appear in Magvel. Saleh wastes no more time

[Edward just knew that something was going to happen.

Ever since the first tremors of the earthquake was felt, Edward has been on pins and needles. It didn't take a genius to realize that this was a bad omen of some kind, but it certainly startled the bard to be faced with fiends now. Only the Malnosso were worthy of such fear for this realm is supposed to be a peaceful one.

Therefore, why in the world are there monsters popping up here?!]

Hm? What was that just now?

[Spotting the bright embers of a fire spell nearby, Edward hurried along the street until he spotted the monk struggling against a foul looking hound.]

Saleh!

[The bard rushed over to help. The dog didn't seem like any normal beast, so instead of trying to shoo it away Edward used his lyre to tame its' rage. Playing a light tune upon his magical lyre, the beasts viscous attack soon slowed as the bard lulled it to sleep.]

[Saleh noticed the hound's bite loosening up, and then rolled over as it was put to sleep. He stands promptly, examining his bloody arm for a moment, pain flickering on his face as he glanced at the bard.]

Edward, I...thank you...

[melodiesoflute]

[A little smile lingered upon the bard's lips once the hound let go of Saleh.]

You are more than welcomed, but you certainly look as if you need potion or two for that wound.

[He grimaced once he saw how bad the injury looked. A moment longer, and the beast would have bitten Saleh's arm to the bone.]

What is happening here?! Monsters like that never appeared before.

[Definitely on edge now, Edward had to wonder how many more fiends now prowl these ruined streets.]

[mountain_sage]

[Saleh raises his opposite hand to his injured arm, calling upon Nala's magic to heal it. The bleeding stops, but the wound itself only shrinks about halfway. Well, it's better than nothing.]

I cannot say. These are the same fiends that have so recently begun to appear in my world. Watch yourself, Edward!

[He points at a Bonewalker aiming a bow and arrow in their direction...]
