Chapter: 596
The alley was quiet, but he soon heard rolls of thunder and deep booming sounds coming from the guild.
“What the fuck is happening…” he tried not to panic..
It seemed like the whole mountain was beginning to shake.
Jay wasn’t sure what it was, and there was something ominous about it.
Slipping between more alleys, Jay continued sneaking to the south side of Losla. He wasn’t worried about the mage hunters rushing through the streets and spotting him, but it was the civilians who may recognise him that he hid from.
As he reached closer the south side of Losla he saw a mage hunter holding a communication crystal, but before Jay could get past, they put the crystal away and pulled out a sword and shield, facing the town.
A number of other mage hunters had already formed a perimeter around Losla and they similarly drew their weapons too. A whole perimeter was forming around Losla.
Jay cautiously approached but sensed killing intent coming from the mage hunter as one of them turned to look directly at him.
“No one leaves.” their gravelly voice said slowly.
Jay didn’t want to look suspicious so he simply nodded and calmly returned to a nearby alleyway.
He had no clue what to do other than to hide in the alley – but finally, he heard Lara’s voice again.
“Jay? We… something’s happening at the guild. You have to come right now.”
Jay was relieved as he heard her voice, he looked around before replying.
“I’m at the south side of Losla. The mage hunters have surrounded the town, I can’t leave.”
“I see. Wait a second.”
Jay looked up and down the alley way as he checked for people. Some more adventurers were stopped from leaving; most didn’t dare to complain to the mage hunters though.
“Get ready.” Lara said.

~South-East Forests of Losla~
*Huff huff huff*
Anya was catching her breath, a tense look on her face. She was focused now more than ever.
Sullivan told her to leave the guild immediately to meet with Lannister and Lara, but not to enter Losla – so she ventured through the forests.
Without a second word she followed her fathers instruction to leave.
Despite him sounding calm, she could tell that something wasn’t right.
She nimbly dashed down the hill and through the forest, moving as fast as she could through the thick vegetation.
