Chapter: Chaos Emerges

“Move it! Come on!” Aila yelled as people piled up their foodstuffs along the wall on pallets.

“This load is done.” The quartermaster wore a mask, muffling his voice.

“Move to the second loading area!” she yelled to the carriage drivers.

They moved on toward and down the wall.

The quartermaster and his people moved back from the pallets that were attached to ropes that went up the wall to arms that hung over the side of Skalafell’s battlements. They moved to a sanitary station, washing their hands thoroughly under the watchful eyes of healers and medics.

Aila blew a whistle.

There were a few moments before there was movement on the walls.

People manned the different arms and worked together to pull up the pallets, the much-needed food, masks, soap, and water filtration systems being raised up.

They reached the top of the wall and then turned, disappearing over it.

Aila looked at the next loading area, where another team was unloading the items from the traders’ carriages, then loading them onto waiting pallets.

That’s the first batch of supplies. I hope that there is some kind of cure.

She looked at the train of carriages. Boats were unloading what they could spare on the other side of the river, passing it down to the boats that then shipped it to the shore, where they were piled onto carriages that would carry them off over one of the main bridges and to Skalafell.

Beast kin and traders from the isles and Selenus were working together to try to help out the people of Skalafell, letting them know that they weren’t alone.

There were traders who grumbled and complained, but most traded here all the time; they had friends inside the city as well.

Tissis looked at her husband. He was weaker than he had ever been.

She wanted to go and let him rest his head on her lap as she cared for him. Instead, she watched from the side, wearing her own mask, watching the man she loved waste away.

Her thoughts drifted back to that letter as she took one last look at him and then left the room. Since she had gotten the letter, she hadn’t seen Keze. For fear that what it said was true, she hadn’t taken her mask off either.

She went to her office, sitting down as she looked at the mounting reports. Thankfully the Black Rags are actually what they seem to be—just a group of people trying to help out one another. Though they don’t know that there is nothing that they can do for those affected.

She closed her eyes. A few tears fell out of her eyes and she started to cry.

“What did we do to deserve this?” she asked pitifully. Her pain turned to anger as she yelled and threw the books and reports on her desk to the side, tossing things all over the place before she felt the fight go out of her as she fell back into her seat, tired and defeated.

She started coughing from her exertion. There was a knock at the door.
