"The city fell?" Leo asked with a shocked expression on his face.

"Yes. The cultists somehow managed to get through the wall and they attacked everyone in sight. We managed to escape the city and fled in this direction, finding the soldiers that were defending this place.

They fought to defend us as well at first but as I said already, they ran away in the middle of the night and left us here." The woman explained.

" We knew this was something important, that's why the soldiers were protecting it. There is no garuntee we could have made it to a safe place so we all decided it would be better to stay here and try to defend this thing until someone else arrived to help us, more soldiers for example." The woman explained.
