Within the hour, word of the Guild Battle had spread through the city, and the timeline had already gotten blurred by gossip.
The rumour going around the city was that someone had attacked the Thunderbird while he was scouting, and the beast had retaliated by wiping out a group of Initiates while they were shopping.
The thought was horrifying to the people, but not as horrific as the storm of swirling flames that had eaten the Truelight Host Guild house. There was so little chance for them to defend themselves, even when the attack had come so long after the alarms signalling a Guild Conflict had been sounded.
That had to mean that the attack had started at the Darklight Host shop, and they hadn't been given the chance for a challenge.
