章節 113: Shadows Rising (Pt 1)

Jake couldn't stop trembling.

His body violently spasmed as he clenched his teeth and he shut his eyes. He tried to breath as calmly as he could, but something was choking him so much so that he began finding it harder and harder to take in air.

Jake very well knew what it was… it was fear. He, just like everyone else in the room, was frightened.

While he and the other kids had been having fun as usual, enjoying the evening ambiance that radiated pure delight, a loud sound shook everywhere. The adults quickly gathered and sent the young ones, him being no exception, to the largest hut in their entire community.

It was usually used for welcoming visitors or discussing town matters. It was large enough for the whole village to fit in since group discussions were usually held there.

The weak and elderly also stayed with them, since they would only be liabilities to the adults. Jake knew this quite well since he was very clever for his young age of eleven.
