"What do we do now?" Callista asked, as they sat at the edge of the building, looking down on the people below them.
"Well, we are just observing," Osbert said as they stared at a group of people gathering in front of a clearing.
"I don't understand about this portal thing," Callista said, pouting slightly as he leaned his head on the man's shoulder. "Why is today so important?"
"Well, every new moon, a portal opens up and a large hoard of creatures come in through the portal," Osbert explained as some people passed them, not giving them a second look. "Most of the creatures are … infected."
"Infected?"
"Yeah. Infected to the point that they go crazy." Osbert paused for a second, thinking. "That reminds me, they said that without this crystal, once a creature reaches fifteen, they will be infected."
Osbert reached into his pocket and pulled out a crystal, holding it to Callista who took it and began inspecting it.
