Later that day…
After a long morning of rest, recovery, and more than one "quick" session, Jake and Grace finally prepared to head out.
Grace wore a large, hooded cloak that completely covered her golden hair and curvy figure, making her look like an unremarkable traveler.
She stayed close to Jake, her hand occasionally brushing against his as they walked.
The two of them moved cautiously through the forest, and eventually emerging near the outskirts of Nasha Town.
Jake's expression turned serious as he looked at the damaged town in the distance.
Half of it was still smoldering, with thick black smoke rising into the sky.
The streets were chaotic as people rushing to put out fires, merchants packing up what little they had left, and armed patrols from both sides moving through the area.
The power struggle between Viscount Victor and Baron Elden Von had clearly escalated yesterday, but it seemed to have calmed down somewhat for now.
