The set of notifications that swarmed Theo's vision…
Didn't match the reality around him, for nothing of significance appeared to happen.
No loud growls or beastly cries came to haunt him from beyond the limits of his walls, nor did a noise of something attempting to storm them appear.
By every means possible, this just… continued as they were, save for the blaring red "invasion" part flashing at the top of Theo's vision.
'This doesn't feel like much of an invasion at all,' Theo thought, gritting his teeth as he tried to ignore the stinging pain of his wrist. 'And that reminds me…' He looked down at his hand while making sure to rest the butt of his arbalest down on his stomach. 'I really need to find a better way of baiting the monsters out, huh?'
Then, it happened.
At first, it came like a whisper.
A distant echo, a distorted version of a sound that didn't resemble anything Theo could think of.
