章 1708: Nightly Mission!

The heavy downpour never stopped, as the darkness grew stronger and stronger by the second. 

It was the last week of November, and the darkness came much earlier than before. 

It was only 5 PM but the darkness was almost absolute and the skies were completely clouded with no presence of stars wherever one looked.

The night crawlers still whistled, sang and croaked in the dark, though no one could hear their cricket and bird cries when the rains fell so heavily.

--Alabaster, Eastern Regions, Laboon Empire, Tenola--

The little town of Alabaster was soaked heavily by the rains. 

Many on the streets ran up and down, left and right and in all directions to get out of the thundering weather. 

What can they do? If they don't want to get sick and maybe die from the cold, they must work hard to finish whatever it was that kept them underneath the heavy rains.
