Jin Wei and Chen Zin sat in the bustling local restaurant, their breakfast laid out before them; fresh dumplings, congee, and steaming cups of tea.
"Slow down, Master," Chen Zin sighed, sipping her tea, "You're acting like we haven't eaten in days."
Jin Wei, her cheeks stuffed with food, waved her hand dismissively. "Mmph, you don't understand, Zin'er. This city's food is amazing!"
Chen Zin rolled her eyes, silently thinking, 'This woman, no worries in the world.'
Suddenly, a deep, earth-shaking roar erupted from somewhere outside, its intensity shaking the walls of the restaurant.
"GUAARAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
The entire restaurant froze, the noise sending chills down everyone's spine.
*crack* Plates clattered as people turned toward the entrance, eyes wide with panic. There was a moment of eerie silence, and then chaos broke loose.
"Beast! There's a beast!" someone shouted, and it was as though a dam had burst.
