Smoke rose from multiple buildings near the District 3 teleportation gate, forming thick dark plus that spread across the skies above Dawnstar.
Alarm sirens echoed continuously throughout the district, blending with distant screams, crashing sounds, and violent bursts of energy that revealed fighting had already broken out in several locations at once.
The streets below had descended into chaos.
Large crowds pressed desperately against temporary barricades surrounding the quarantine zone while ard guards struggled to maintain order. As soon as Ery and Typhon descended near the gate district, several enforcers imdiately noticed them. Recognizing the aura of Grand Magus experts, one of the officers hurried toward them.
"Greetings, seniors," the man said respectfully while bowing.
His armor was covered with ash and the exhaustion in his eyes made it clear he had been dealing with the unrest for hours without pause.
Ery glanced toward the crowded quarantine zone before asking calmly, "What happened here?"
The enforcer hesitated briefly before answering.
"A migrant convoy arrived earlier today and panic spread before we could isolate the area properly." He quickly forced a reassuring smile and added, "But don't worry, sir, the situation is under control."
Almost imdiately after he said that, another explosion echoed several streets away.
The officer's expression stiffened awkwardly before he continued, "Unfortunately, we've temporarily shut down the District 3 gate. If you require teleportation access, please use the District 2 gate instead."
Ery silently extended his divine sense across the surrounding district.
The imbalance beca obvious almost instantly.
There were barely a few hundred guards attempting to contain a crowd numbering well over a million across the surrounding sectors.
His expression darkened slightly.
The public still did not know the full truth regarding the scourge, yet fear alone was already pushing Dawnstar toward instability. Once the reality of the parasites beca public knowledge, the situation would likely spiral completely out of control.
He had less than ten hours remaining before he needed to depart for Baeldum, and he had originally planned to pass through Dawnstar only long enough to reach the Academy.
Still, as he watched the growing panic spreading throughout the district, Ery found himself strangely feeling uneasy.
