The sun slowly rose from beyond the horizon. Hunters, now geared up and ready to face the day ahead, were prepared to leave the Stronghold. The moment sunlight touched down on the serene fortress, it would mark the beginning of another day out in the Field.
"Huh..?"
"What the..?"
"The hell is that?"
Various surprised voices echoed out from the groups of hunters waiting in the still-dark Stronghold. The sun was set to rise in a few minutes, and they were all prepared to head out at a moment's notice.
However, before they could exit the Stronghold gates, a large group of people had suddenly appeared, blocking the exit as they all struggled to enter the compound.
