Morning came to Elaris, but the quiet atmosphere that usually accompanied the early hours was nowhere to be found. Instead of the soft sounds of villagers beginning another ordinary day, the town had erupted into chaos. Doors were opening one after another, footsteps echoed through the streets, and groups of villagers gathered outside their homes, speaking in hurried voices as they tried to understand what was happening. Some people looked frightened, others looked excited, and many looked as though they had barely slept at all. The rumor had spread throughout the town during the night, passing from one person to another until it had become impossible to determine where the original story had even begun.
Liam had discovered the cause of the town being trapped.
That was the first part of the rumor.
The second part was even more unbelievable.
