[Scorpion City]
Silence.
That was the only thing that could be felt throughout the various streets. The lively atmosphere that once defined the city had completely disappeared.
Even the wind seemed quieter than usual as an invisible pressure weighed heavily upon everyone.
Scorpion Men, women, and children walked carefully as they whispered to each other. None of them dared raise their voices.
Their previous pride and confidence were long gone and only fear and nervousness hung on their faces.
Their eyes constantly wandered around.
Rumors of the war had spread like wildfire through Scorpion City.
Every Scorpion clansman knew of their mighty army going out to defeat their enemy, and they were all expecting their glorious return.
When the army first departed, the entire city had celebrated.
Many believed victory was already assured.
