The sudden pull of Brisa came as a surprise. Kaya almost lost balance as the apprentice of Autry slammed the door behind her. For that instance the unnatural silence was momentarily disturbed by the loud bang of the door. If anybody else was still in the village, they must have heard the door closing. Kaya followed the slightly odd tomboyish girl towards the other room. Kaya came to the house to find Autry but she found her apprentice instead. None the less the young girl was happy that she wasn’t the only one left in the village. If Brisa is here then there might still be others around too.

For a moment Kaya was lost in thought. It intrigued the girl that from all the villagers only two young girls where left. She wondered what they had in common that made them to be the ones who didn’t disappear. Her first hunch was that they were both female but considering that she didn’t encounter any adult females on her path, just being female wasn’t enough. The only other real thing both girls had in common was their age. Both where still considered children and children were supposed to hide when the town bell rings. From all the people in the village the children were always the ones with the best hiding spots. If how well hidden you was is the decisive factor between disappearing and being left behind than there is a chance that there are more children still in the village.

Kaya’s string of thoughts was cruelly broken by a large barrage of questions coming from Brisa. Judging from the questions she asked Kaya could make up that Brisa had not yet left Autry’s house. She was completely unaware of that everybody had disappeared, or at least the severity of the situation. It was not that Kaya knew much more about what is going on but she had seen what lies beyond the door of Autry’s house. An empty village with no sign of anything. Now it was up to Kaya to deliver the bad news. Or at least answer the questions of Brisa as much as possible.

For a moment Kaya stared to the food in front of her, looking for the right words to say in this situation. She only knew that everybody was gone but had no clue if they where alright or why they disappeared. Only a vague theory involving a letter in an elfish dialect, 3 travelers and a heathen god. Kaya looked at the girl in front of her and spoke softly. “I’m sorry, there is not much I can tell to comfort you. By the looks of it everybody has disappeared from the village. All houses I visited are deserted. It is like everybody vanished into thin air. “ She paused for a second to see how Brisa would react to this news when she noticed sounds coming from the front door. The sound of something crashing into the door filled the eerie silence. 

Kaya stood up from her seat and moved towards the door. “Stay here Brisa. I’ll go check and see who’s there”. Kaya could feel her heart racing with a mixture of fear and excitement. She didn’t knew who or what was at the door. It could be a creature from the Moor that had walked through the open gates of the deserted town looking for food. As Kaya opened the door to the hallway she noticed the half-orc standing in the doorway with a dazzled look on his face, like he had run into a wall or something. Kaya recognized the half-orc boy as Argurios, the leather maker’s son. The boy was bit infamous for his rowdy behavior. He often would accidently break something or hurt himself. Kaya just smiled. “Are you going to keep standing in the doorway or are you coming inside?”
