Unannounced Arrival

In Bastion City's main plaza, which was situated just outside the inner walls, the flow of people coming in and out was constant. The teleporter, being located right in that plaza, was bringing people of every race in and out of Bastion City, like a river that never ended.

But the cubic structure with its purple stone columns suddenly turned to a bright red, sending the citizens into panic and the guards into a frenzy.

To the side, a squad captain was currently explaining the security measures in place on the teleporter to the new military councilman when the alarms started ringing in the plaza.

Declan looked at the captain, frowning from his underarm hold.

"What is happening, captain?"

The man swivelled his head, grabbing a passing guard.

"You! Tell me what's going on! Why are the alarms ringing?!"
