The anomaly in the skies of Meliora had reached the nearby cities. The city lords, along with the city guards, had already gathered, preparing for any emergency.
All factions who sent out a team to take a closer look at the location where the fissures had originated, were also waiting for an update. At the same time, they sent out orders to each of their branches near Meliora and its surrounding cities, to prepare for the worse case scenario.
At the Royal Army Headquarters in Meliora, the remaining personnel and soldiers staying there were on edge. With only a few High Masters supervising them, they were at a lost of what to do.
These High Masters knew they had to investigate the cause of the anomaly. But none of them possess a clearance high enough to dispatch soldiers. Even if one of them had such clearance, there were already less than a third of the original number of soldiers left in the headquarters.
