When night arrived, the gates of the village were closed. The town was surrounded by a massive boundary wall with only two gates in the north and south directions. One of those gates led people outside the kingdom, while another would open the doors further within the kingdom. All the villages inside had their own boundary walls followed by a gap filled with forest between two towns or cities.
But today, both of these gates were closed as soldiers stood guard on either side, keeping a keen eye on all directions. Usually, there would only be two soldiers at both entrances. But ever since the killer came to this village and started killing children, the number of soldiers on the gates increased to the point that it looked as if a war was going on.
