Thanks to the Royal Capital's recent prosperity, the streets remained packed with pedestrians late into the night, and the city was aglow with lights.
Suddenly, from the Griffin Platforms scattered throughout the Royal Capital, a chorus of chimes rang out.
The pedestrians on the street immediately stopped in their tracks, looking around in confusion.
Many of the older Franks even drew their blades.
The Griffin Corps was the Royal Capital's last line of defense. 'For all the Griffin Platforms to sound the alarm in unison… the last time that happened was thirty years ago…'
"What's happening?"
"Look! Look at the sky!"
As the crowd murmured, it wasn't long before some of the Extraordinary noticed something amiss.
In the distant sky, something was burning.
As everyone was talking, squads of the City Guard emerged to take control of the situation.
"Everyone, return to your lodgings immediately! Everyone…"
