It is day ten. There is no one in the village who can help us, it came for the guards first. They disappeared one by one, and we did not panic. Why would we? We only had 4 guards…or was it 3? 2? Did we even have guards? We had to have, who was manning the gates? Who's armors were in the empty homes? Who's homes were those? Our village is strange, we have a church, but no holy men. The school, yet no learned folk to teach? Why are there so many orphans in our village, yet we have no orphanage? Something is amiss. We require the monarchies help. We're not all Serpentkin here in Ssleestak. Take the snakes, but save the others! Why do I dream of screaming? Please, send anybody!
