*After a long journey in solitude, Makimi was pleased to have finally arrived in Dimeria. It was her first time being outside of Krunada since arriving through the portal.*
Aaron
*The people there would be more hushed. Once this city was known for its bustling inhabitants going this way and that way, into the market, bars, inns... However, now a fear has befallen the city as in the night civilians were hunted down and slaughtered in the streets and a rumor that a monster among monsters had slaughtered a battalion of the town guard and resides in what remains of a village nearby. Now instead of being lively, the people here speak in whispers and remain vigilant.*
John
*It was at this point that Makimi realized that the story she heard may have indeed been true, but she had no intention of leaving until she saw this creature for herself.*
Aaron
*The creature itself doesn't reside here, however the town guard may have an idea of where to find it... If they don't have a panic attack mid conversation.*
John
*Makimi wandered the streets until she found a town guard. If he looked at her, it would immediately be obvious that she was a noble, given her speech and behavior, as well as her white and gold attire.*

`"Excuse me. I would like to have a word with you. Have you seen anything... Unusual lately?"`
Aaron
*The guard himself seemed to be a stern one as he answered what he perceived as a Dimeria noble.* "My Lady nothing but unusual is happening as of late. There's a killer that comes out at night, yet no one has even laid eyes on him. The person even murdered two guards without leaving a trace. On top of that, there was a red light that seemed to be coming from beyond our borders."
John
*The news about the killer was not surprising in the slightest, but the red light was of great interest.*

`"Red light? I see. Could you please point out to me which direction you saw the light coming from? I have a mind to go there myself and search for the truth behind the terrible tales I have heard."`
Aaron
*The guard would raise an eyebrow* "Tales of what my lady? Aside from the killer. The Red Light itself emitted from straight from the city gate. If I had to guess it would be close to where Aicrotor lies."
John
*Aware that the guard may be suspicious of her, she chose her words very carefully as she spoke.*

`"According to rumor, there is a monster that has destroyed an entire village and reigns over the ashes, and if this is true, I plan on slicing its ugly head clean off."`
Aaron
*The guards eyes widened with horror.* "It can't be killed... It won't die..." *The guard then ran in a corner sobbing uncontrollably.*
John
*She stared at him for a few moments before rolling her eyes and walking off in the direction of Aicrotor, aided by a map and compass she had taken with her.*
Aaron
*The guard would be left alone in the corner completely engulfed in fear.*
