Trying not to panic, Jayr hurried into the temple. The man was right, only half of the town were accounted for; perching down besides a worshiper, Jayr tapped the crone's shoulder. "Can you tell me what's going on, ma'am?" He recognised the woman, she had been a close friend to his family for years and helped in when his parents had passed.<br/><br/>"The goddess... she is angry with us," she sobbed, throwing herself to the floor with her arms splayed out. Jayr comforted the old woman, lifting her head and wiping her tears, and pressed further. "Our goddess has sent a creature... it... it threatens to burn our homes. We must pray for forgiveness," she screeched, resuming her prays frantically. Without a word, Jayr remained frozen in the temple and looked out to the leftover townspeople. The more physically able gave up with their prayers and fled as fast as they can. Tears began to form in his eyes, he returned to Adonis' side solemnly and buried his head in his chest.<br/>"What are we gonna do?" he said pathetically. "We can't let it destroy our home."
