Chapter 22: Problems

The Sanctuary City of Alyona was under lockdown.

That meant no one could enter, but it also meant no one could leave. The entire perimeter of the city was protected by a translucent bubble-like barrier that was said to be impenetrable: the grand design of the First Dark Lady Alyona herself.

It would only falter if the mana reserves stored beneath the city dwindled to depletion. But as far as Caius knew, the Sanctuary City hadn’t erected this barrier in nearly a hundred years. Because of that, the barrier was capable of remaining active for at least a decade straight.

So Alyona was safe from the outside world. Nothing could harm the people within unless the barrier was broken. With all the fear and dread that had been permeating the city ever since the Sanctuary City of Vera was said to be destroyed, this drastic action should have placated the populace.

And perhaps, in the main city of Alyona, there was some relief to be found. Especially when the lockdown had first been announced. Entire neighborhoods of dark elves threw parties that praised Dark Lord Koros for finally putting a halt to the ceaseless stream of refugees coming into the city. However, that was just about the only positive reaction to the lockdown.

Now, after weeks had passed, as Caius strode through the crowded streets of the Sanctuary City, he noticed there was something off about the busy atmosphere. For one, the people gathered out here weren’t bustling about their day like they normally would. Instead, they were huddled together near the alleys and shops, speaking in muted voices as they peeked glances towards the magical dome overhead.

The aura of dread still remained. A palpable air of fear waded through the city, its noxious sense of terror impossible to get rid of, even with the lockdown. It almost felt like the elf was walking past the death row’s section of a prison. After all, if even the Sanctuary City of Vera could fall to these nightmares, then what chance did Alyona stand?

When Caius left the main city and reached the upper tunnels, it still felt like he was stepping into a prison. But a different kind of prison. It was one where all the inmates visibly didn’t want to be there, and there was growing unrest that could result in a riot at any point in time. In fact, the only reason it hadn’t happened yet was because the last one had been quelled so easily, no one dared to take action again.

The elf’s eyes flickered as he saw a large gathering of orcs spilling out of a relatively small shack. He could hear their muffled shouts, even from a hundred feet away.

“Cursed souls, they can’t hold us in here forever!”

“After what they did to Elder Golag and the Ironhide Clan, we will not stand for this!”

“I heard most of the Steelaxe Clan managed to escape before the lockdown. Lucky bastards…”

The susurration of voices quietened down as a patrol of guards led by a giant orc marched down the nearby street.
