Mages from various noble families rushed to Vespara's potion shop to assess and possibly address the strange occurrence in the city.
When they arrived, however, they were met with a disturbing sight. Three men were seen hurrying out of the shop, carrying a lifeless body with only a thin layer of skin covering the skeleton. It appeared as if the victim's soul had been sucked from his body.
After the three men had long fled the vicinity with the corpse, the atmosphere, and sky abruptly returned to normal, allowing the gathered mages to breathe a sigh of relief. A disaster had been averted.
The mages knew better than to provoke the War Goddess, and they were glad to have avoided any confrontation with her for the time being.
Inside the shop...
"Don't mind them; people used to talk to me like that too; you just need to speak up sometimes. Take a stand for yourself" Vespara let out a light giggle.
"But I am not strong like you," Daisy replied.
