"The land which thou can never find, the land which is the epicentre of illusions and mysterious phenomena.
Lunaris, the eternal city of the mages and the land where magic originates on, and the land where the prophecy of destruction of w-"
The book was closed, the man closing the book sighed
"These stories are not even real, yet...people believe in them," He then added "One cup of beer please, and give me half, I'm not good with alcohol"
there was a fat man with short height and a white shirt who was standing before the counter who shouted "Alright, lad just you wait!"
The interior was wooden and there were gas lamps spread across the interior with tainted windows of green and red colour, there were many people there talking loudly, some crying while some partying with their friends and colleagues the whole place had a stench of alcohol.
While the fat man was working on his glass, Robert observed that beside him were two men who were having a discussion over the recent news.
The one who was tall and was wearing a black coat said "Do you know the dragon of the eastern lands was finally captured by Mysterium Pryer," The other man sitting was of an average build and was just wearing a white shirt "Those people are still primitive, still fighting with swords and such...but people of those lands seems to have a good connection with elves and dwarves,"
The tall one placed his elbow on the table leaned his head onto his palm and replied "King Arthur was really rough with elves, causing them to be extinct in these lands...Honestly, such a pity" The other man frowned and argued "Those were barbaric, but good-looking too,"
Suddenly, the fat man placed a glass of beer that was partially full to the table in front of Robert and said "Lad, when are you going to pay the money I lend ya?"
Robert looked down and said "I am sorry, mister Owen. I will play the money as soon I can, but don't worry I have brought the money for this drink here," He placed 1 red note and 2 copper pennies on the table.
Owen's eyes widened as if not expecting to receive the money and then taunted "Got into crime, don't you?" Robert let out a small awkward laugh and denied the claim "Uh no, I got a part-time job at the cafe next street,"
Owen frowned and looked up while holding his chin in his right hand "Lucky you I guess." by the time Owen finished his words, Robert placed the glass and got up.
Robert bowed slightly and said "It's about the time I go, it's eight in the night,"
Owen tilted his head wondering how he gulped the beer this quick "Sure, be careful kid."
Robert then bade Owen farewell and stepped out of the tavern, the cold air finally hit him after the hot environment of the tavern.
He then began walking on the stone-paved street and watched the lights being illuminated by at maximum three-floored buildings,
"Winters are approaching Cosford...I better buy some firewood to light up the chimney." Robert muttered to himself as the condensed air was coming from his mouth.
The city was fairly developed with many buildings spreading across the busy streets with carriages run by horses and people walking on the slightly lifted path which was stone paved.
Robert who was walking looked at a glass and saw his silhouette, which showed a man of average build, wearing a Grey hat and a maroon coat with black pants.
"Beautiful, right?" He gave himself a compliment a continued walking further.
After some time walking he looked up, the moon was as bright a ever trying to compensate for the dark sky while small dot like stars were spread across with many patterns, Robert has always admired the night sky because he thought that it was a work of art.
BOOM!
A loud deafening noise came, it was like a very big explosion has occurred. Robert eyes widened as he saw an a cloud of smoke forming and rising in air like a mushroom, he saw many people running here and there the crowd lost all their civic sensed and started running towards the opposite direction of the explosion.
"THE DEATHEATERS HAVE INVADED!" A man cried while running,
