When the sun was up to the sky, the villagers were already on their move. They were cleaning their house, packing up. After the attack from the Dire Wolf's horde last night, Chief Rick decided to evacuate earlier.
It was a yearly routine before Beast Stampede that the villagers would move to the city to seek shelter. From the usual date, the Beast Stampede would attack the city a month later.
However, last night's attack alarmed the villagers and so they decided to move now. They did not want another beast horde to attack the village. As for Chief Rick, he was standing anxiously west gate, waiting for his daughter.
Last night, he told her daughter where Tang was. But the girl did not come back until morning. He checked Elin's house, but the house was empty.
Thanks for reading and thanks for the support :)
