Nora was still palpitating from fear and still distressed after her meet with the queen. She was lying on her side in her blankets ,eyes wide open and staring into the darkness , apart of her desired to believe in the queen's word but another yearned for it to be an untrue for it was already past dark and nothing unfavorable had yet to occur causing her to question if the queen had became a bit deluded and demented. All these thoughts roaming in one's head could make one thirsty and Nora's thirst was no different. She pushed the covers away from herself and had got up to take a drink , thank god for the little window in her two-roomed home for candles aren't easy to come by so wasting them in the middle of the night for a drink was both absurd and ignorant.
As she drank the water down like a dragon her thoughts calmed as well as her anxiety. But then in the midpoint of the gloomy inaudible silence a sound of a bang was clearly heard. Nora turned her head and saw nothing. An earthquake she wondered...though those were uncommon for the village Duffle but not unheard of. But as she was just about to go back to bed a hissing noise had overcame the silence and a bolt out of the blue a man screamed in agony "AH! MONSTERS !" but his screams was soon silenced and faded into the night the next thing Nora knew more screams of terrors followed the man and her glass window shattered for a spear had entered into her room, Nora gasped but didn't dare to make a sound the last thing she wanted to do was draw attention to herself, Nora ran across the room to put on her gown and to grab her secretly stashed weapons, this wasn't the first time Duffle had been attacked so Nora was at least prepared the safest place to head for at this ungodly hour was the castle all the humans and creatures would seek refuge there weather noble or poor.
Her weapons were two push daggers strapped to her thighs and pistol gifted to her by grandfather. As I said she was prepared that she even knew not to bring a candle with her and that traveling dark would work to her advantage.
As soon as her dainty feet set foot outside fear strike her nerves for she could only hear and sense that all around turmoil and madness was taking place around her, she smelt the fresh blood of luckless victims , heard the never dyeing screams of men and creatures , and even heard other people run past her in hopes of escaping near death themselves. And Nora joined as they ran across the streets away from the enemy.
But a vital thought had just occurred to her...ODRICK! the chubby short-nosed elf wouldn't manage to outlive the night even if his life depended on it. She tried to turn back and head for Loquacious street home to robbers and writers, But as she attempted to push through the crowed of frightened people she was grabbed by the hair and swung with a strong grip that sent her failing a yard back on her behind, Nora quickly got back up and cursed the fool who pulled her back for she nearly had dropped her pistol.

"Get away from me you foul monsters!? away I say" shrieked an elf with a great fear and a great frying pan for a weapon.
The monsters were short in height and by luck the elf's bed was 7ft. The creature's numbers were unknow roughly 3 of them though there could be more as well as they faces were hidden by the night's darkness, it was bad enough to be attacked in the middle of the night but even worse if you couldn't at all see your enemy all you knew was that they had a terrible habit of hissing.
Odrick kept swinging his pan to and fro striking the creatures on they head if they dared to go farther up. When reality become more daunting and real, Odrick soon realized that he might not escape death but rather join it and dance with it instead, well at least he got to die as a true wordsmith.
But suddenly in the course of his despair came charging in Nora who immediately pulled out her aged pistol and shot the monsters like a dog , hissing screams and slimy, wet blood and other fluids were served as proof of they death. "Come on Odrick, there might be more out there!" and with that Odrick took a mighty jump and landed softly on the ground. One of Odrick's best talents aren't just words but that he can also jump like spring better than most of his kind
