"So this is the place, huh?" Kai stood right at the edge of a narrow alleyway where the evening shadows seemed to swallow the remaining daylight.
Kravengard has marble towers in the upper districts, but it was easily one of the worst places to live if a person lacked a fat coin pouch or a noble title.
Down here in the slums, anyone could be mugged or killed for a pair of slightly used boots at any given time of the day.
There were no lanterns or patrolling guards to keep the peace, only the harsh reality of survival.
Walking down the unpaved street, Kai navigated around people who were either lying completely still in the filth or twitching uncontrollably from cheap narcotics.
A few desperate beggars watched his approach with hungry eyes. Some even stepped forward to try to faze him into handing over a copper coin.
He did not give a single fuck about their problems.
Keeping his head facing forward, he ignored their pleading voices and kept moving.
