When it was getting late, Hionthea left the inn. Her workday was over and she was about to go home.
At first, she felt normal, but the further she went she felt that someone was trying to follow her. The feeling became uncomfortable.
She quickened her footsteps. It was late now so the streets were deserted too, no one to be seen.
Hionthea glanced back quickly, but only an empty street could be seen. Maybe it's just an exaggeration. Finally, she quickened her pace to get there quickly.
After Hionthea's figure stepped far enough, a man came out from hiding behind the building. There wasn't any expression on her face. She resumed her footsteps following Hionthea.
Hionthea's feelings returned to being uncomfortable. Her hand grazed her waist and gripped the dagger hidden there.
She quickly stopped in her tracks and immediately turned back. A flash of black shadow slid into the sidelines of the building.
