The Beacon's Reaction (I)
That night, while a certain troubled little girl was still dwelling on how some bandits had stolen her toys...
Hundreds of kilometers away, in the enormous Law Church of the City of Light and Shadow, atop the beacon that towered over the night sky, the lights inside harmonized perfectly with the darkness of the stars outside.

Everyone knew that the newly appointed City Lord Charles had nearly been killed on the spot by the rampaging monster Mark that day. If not for the loyal members of the city defense force and the Law Church risking their lives to save him, he would already be dead.
