The War

When crawling out of the tent after waking up, Atlas shook his head. Once outside, his eyes opened wide in shock when he noticed the area outside their protective Runes was covered in blood.

Following that, Atlas glanced around, thinking, 'Where is everyone? Why didn't we hear anything?'

Atlas stepped past the Runes and felt a sudden dread wash over his body, which caused him to look around. Lilith wandered out of the tent and joined him by making a chirping noise that put a smile on his face.

He guessed she wanted to be picked up. With a roll of his eyes, Atlas put the little monster on his shoulder while he explored the hilltop and saw the adventurer's tent, but most were covered in blood.

 After that, Atlas looked around and noticed tracks similar to Dark Ones. 'Did the adventurers set up Runes? It makes no sense,' he mused while approaching the edge and saw something at the hill's edge on the opposite side of their camp.
