"Just follow me!" Drackson replied quickly, as he made haste to the Wizard's Tower, his curly hair, wet from the ongoing rain, sweeping as he looked left and right. "I don't want any of those... things go snatch you in the middle of the night." Every several steps he'd look behind him, making sure she was still following him. It was quite clear the captain was not at ease. Several other guardsmen were also walking around in the distance, their lamps in hand that were small bubbles of light in the darkness of the night.<br/><br/>A man screamed behind them, and as Drackson turned to watch, he saw two shadows on the street. As one of his men hurried to the scene, one of the shades slowly collaped, while the other one was moving towards a small alley. A bolt of lightning briefly lit the sky, causing Drackson to lose sight of the creature, which managed to leave the road before the sound of thunder rolled over the city.<br/><br/>[Zoe Perception 7+6=13: If she looks behind herself, she will see the shades as well. When the lightning hits, she is able to see the actual people for a brief moment. One of them is clearly dressed as a nobleman, as his coat falls off while his body drops down on the cobbles of the road. The other one looks like a human as well, but he is completely naked, his limb genitals even showing. His skin is a dull mix of gray and white. Long, ivory white hair hung down his back, sticking together into several strands.]<br/><br/>Drackson grabbed Zoe's wrists. "Hurry, we have more important business to attend to." he called out to her, as he continued his way to the council's tower, already visible ahead of them. As he pulled the apprentice along with him, he hoped his men would be able to handle the situation.
