Side Story I: Meanwhile, at the Clinic...

Around when Zenos’s presence had, unbeknownst to some, begun to make itself known at the Royal Institute of Healing, a lone figure stood before the clinic in the ruined city. Their gray hair swayed in the wind as their large beast ears flitted left and right, scanning the surroundings.

“I might be a genius,” said the werewolf leader Lynga as she crouched down and smirked to herself. The owner of the clinic, Zenos, had left for the Royal Institute with some weirdo named Becker. And it seemed the elf Lily and the wraith Carmilla had tagged along, which meant this building was currently empty. “Heh heh heh...”

Slowly, Lynga inserted a wire into the keyhole. The place was decrepit and the lock quite old, so it wasn’t difficult to pick. She pushed the door open quietly and swiftly went inside, silencing her footsteps. Finally, she closed the door behind her, locking it from within.

A profound silence enveloped her and a mischievous grin played upon her lips. “Now I can do whatever I want...”

But suddenly, Lynga heard a faint noise. She held her breath and crouched low. Who the hell...? She focused her ears forward and felt someone’s presence slowly drawing nearer.

Whoever this was had noticed her intrusion too.

Clutching her axe in her left hand, the werewolf crept deeper inside. Then, in an instant, a black shadow lunged at her from the direction of the kitchen, hissing.

“Gah!” The glint of a dagger thrust caught Lynga’s eye, and she swung her own axe just as quickly.

Instead of clashing, however, their weapons stopped abruptly mid-air. Lynga and the shadow froze in recognition.

“Zophia! Why are you here?!”

“Lynga?! That’s my line!” The leader of the lizardmen had beaten the werewolf to the punch. With her eyes wide open, Zophia sheathed her daughter at her waist once more. “Don’t tell me you came to steal stuff while the doc’s away!”

“Don’t be ridiculous!” Lynga protested. “You’re the thief here, not me!”

“What? I would never!”

“Oh yeah? That thief’s blood in you didn’t stir at all?”

“Don’t lump me in with you!”

“Don’t lump me in with you!”

Both of them brandished what they’d been holding in their other hands, and a pair of long sticks crossed between them, sparking: a broom and a duster. The two of them stood at a standoff, a long moment of awkward silence and even more awkward glances hanging between them before they slowly lowered their cleaning tools.

“So you came here to clean too, did you?” Zophia said.

“You too?” Lynga replied.

“You’re not subtle, trying to win points with the doc by cleaning the place while he’s away.”

“I could say the exact same thing to you.”

“Just so you know, I got here first.”

“What matters is how much you contribute,” Lynga said, glaring at Zophia. “And I may not look it, but I’m quite fond of cleanliness.”

“I am too!” Zophia protested, glaring right back.

“I’m such a genius,” came a third voice as the front door fell over with a loud thunk. “Cleaning up the
