The robed figures stopped walking about twenty meters away from Toz and the cats, who were staring warily at them.
Toz felt that something was off regarding the figures, but he couldn't put his finger on it since they were entirely hidden by dark robes. Not even their feet or hands were visible.
But since they weren't attacking them directly, Toz decided to wait until they could figure out what was going on. Thankfully, it looked like they would explain their intentions without much delay.
"State your identity!"
"..."
Toz's hopes were shattered. The figures didn't seem to be allies of the Alliance of Kingdoms. And they didn't explain their intentions clearly enough for Toz to make sense of them at once. Toz would have liked to blame the lack of understanding on the voice's ethereal and hollow sound. But he understood the words perfectly. So he couldn't do that.
"Do you think they're looking for someone?"
"Dunno. Maybe they're law enforcers?"
