"Open the door!" The mercenaries pushed and pushed.
The guards and the people who were associated with the merchant who owned the house were also rushing in.
They were desperate. The secret that they kept for so long would come to light in the most dangerous of occasions!
Alvin, the merchant who owned the mansion, and a loyal supporter of Mayor Christopher had rushed home when he heard his place was under attack. But the news spread out so fast and wide that despite Alvin didn't ask, Christopher has sent a group of soldiers to deal with the Arvus mage that was attacking!
But Alvin hastened the more and leaped on his horse and rode like a madman.
His people and his allies who took part in this were all sending their own guards to help as they would all be implicated.
Soldiers, guards, and mercenaries were trying to push down the door, but the locks and the pile of furniture had been in place.
