Chapter 119: Rough Edge

Daylight spilled across Lacroseth City as Taloren’s sun crested over the horizon. Life all over the city began to stir and wake up for their day. A flock of vicious Avicii Raptors took to the skies inside the dome, and circled around in search of prey.

As a wing of them flew around, they spotted some movement on a small patch of land near the edge of the dome. It was simply a glint of metal accompanied by a blur of shadow.

They swooped down closer to the movement, drawn to the promise of a tantalizing morning meal. But they knew that simply diving down was unwise, and that watching their prey was best. So most perched themselves on nearby trees to watch, while others stayed in the sky to keep a wider view.

Eva breathed heavily as she stood in her favorite sparring circle and worked on her bladedancing technique. Clothed in her black workout gear and wielding her practice beltknife, she tirelessly practiced her footwork.
