An Imminent Raid

The moon, under siege by stars, seemed to lighten the night. The Migotir city lights ebbed as people retired for the night.

After leaving the alley, Hugo circled back to the black market. He headed back to the pawnshop where he had sold his artifacts.

With the cloak of Thanatos activated, he escaped the notice of the militia crawling all over the area. He was now totally convinced of their intention to raid the market.

He weaved through the oblivious crowd of mystics and arrived at the front of the shop. He immediately sent a telepathic message to the old man behind the counter.

"Some organized mystics are about to raid this market. You should close up and stow away anything outside the law."

The old man did not reply. He frowned and began looking around the shop. It seemed he was unable to pierce through Hugo's invisibility spell.

"I'm the one who sold you rank-2 runic bows and arrows earlier," Hugo added to dispel his confusion.
