Orcus Town’s past

Michael spent the rest of the day with the locals of Orcus Town, seeing first-hand how horrible their living situation was.

Most of the time, the kids and the adults journeyed out into the dangerous forests to try and find some fruits and berries they could eat. However, they couldn't gather enough sustenance to live satisfied day to day. Most fruit-bearing trees were either smashed into the ground or fallen into the crevices on the ground.

The only water source they had came from the rain which only comes once in a while.

Michael talked with the middle-aged woman and found out her name was Beth. She was one of the only locals who stayed in Orcus Town despite its horrible state.

He asked her how things deteriorated so badly for the town.

"We already asked for help from the neighboring towns, but…they couldn't."

Due to the dangerous terrain of the forests full of crevices and chasms, no one was able to send any large rations to the town.
