Rain was falling heavy and cold breeze could be felt. It would take at least few more hours for the night to come and for the darkness to swallow small city that was Civitas.

Meroxu was sitting in her chair, nervously trapping her foot. Her husband didn't get back home yet and he didn't return any of her calls.
