The Mages from the company left.
They had created the initial form of the mortal district, and it only needed to grow naturally by now.
As the Mages left, the food deliveries for the mortals stopped.
However, the farms they had created were already bearing fruit. Of course, just a couple of weeks would have never been enough to complete a crop cycle, but there were plenty of supportive Magic Circles that sped up the process.
Most of the mortals continued partying, but a few of them noticed that the farms weren't tended to.
Sure, they had food now, but what about in a couple of weeks?
So people started complaining, but everyone just told them to shut up and mind their own business.
Nevertheless, the number of working mortals went up from 20% to about 30%. The ones that had joined the workers felt sha. They were asking the farrs to continue tending to their farms while they continued partying. Because of that, they also focused on working away.
Of course, most people still didn't care.
That was until one fateful day.
A pack of Peak Soldier Stage wolves.
Initially, when most people saw the pack on the horizon, they didn't care.
They were being protected by the Mage Guards.
Yet, the few people that perfectly rembered the set of rules beca nervous.
They told everyone that the Mage Guards wouldn't protect them from threats in the First and Second Realm.
The people beca a bit nervous, but they only laughed nervously.
The Mage Guards wouldn't just watch as so wolves killed everyone, right?
They were guards.
It was their job to protect people, right?
Right?
The pack of wolves noticed the settlent.
For a long while, the wolves looked at the Mage Guards.
They could feel that these Mage Guards were extrely dangerous.
Yet, the Mage Guards didn't attack them.
The wolves were very careful and scared.
Over the next couple of hours, they ca back, looked at the settlent, and walked away again.
They were hungry.
They were a big family, and they needed a lot of food.
Every ti they returned, they ca a bit closer to the settlent.
The Mage Guards didn't do anything.
By the next day, the wolves ca within twenty ters of the settlent.
Surprisingly, the majority of people had cald down.
The wolves weren't dangerous.
They had grown used to the wolves' presence.
Then, a 16-year-old girl decided to step out of the settlent and slowly approached the wolves.
She didn't feel any ill will co from the wolves.
Maybe they could work together?
The wolves were about two ters high each, which was extrely imposing.
Yet, they were also fluffy, and their careful deanor was endearing.
Of course, most people thought that this was a crazy idea, and they were right. It was a crazy idea.
But there were bound to be so crazy people in a group of thousands.
The wolves shied away from the girl, constantly eyeing the closest Mage Guard.
The Mage Guard didn't move.
The people were watching with interest.
Eventually, one of the wolves dared to approach the girl.
"Hey, you don't need to be afraid," the girl said with a smile. "We're nice."
She extended her arm to the wolf, and the wolf looked at it.
Then, it slled the hand carefully while carefully eying the closest Mage Guard.
Slowly, the wolf's tongue extended, and it began to slowly and carefully lick the girl's hand.
The girl laughed and walked closer.
"Ow!" she suddenly shouted as she pulled her hand back.
The wolf's teeth had lightly clamped down on the girl's arm, but it had let go imdiately after she shouted.
The wolf looked at the Mage Guard.
The Mage Guard didn't move.
"Don't do that again. That hurts!" the girl shouted while trying to sound friendly.
The girl slowly approached the wolf again, and the wolf turned to look at her after a while.
CRACK!
"AAAAAAHHH!"
The wolf bit down on the girl's arm, breaking it.
The girl scread in pain and terror as she tried to pull her arm out of the wolf's mouth.
The wolf was looking at the closest Mage Guard.
The Mage Guard didn't move.
Then, the wolf pulled the girl forward with its teeth.
The girl fell forward, and the wolf's huge maw enveloped her torso.
CRSH!
Horrifying shrieks and gurgles ca out of the girl's mouth as the wolf lifted her body in its mouth and ran away.
The mortals were terrified and looked at the Mage Guard in terror and panic.
The Mage Guard didn't move.
The other five wolves noticed that their partner hadn't been attacked, and they grew hungrier as they eyed the little settlent.
Then, they slowly approached.
And then, the settlent fell into hysteria.
Everyone scread in panic and ran away.
The wolves slowly advanced, entering the settlent.
They were still afraid that the Mage Guards would do sothing.
Yet, the Mage Guards never did anything.
In a matter of minutes, the streets had been cleared as everyone had either fled or entered a building.
The wolves sniffed around, and they stopped near one of the buildings.
CRK! CRK!
One of them scratched on the door, leaving behind huge crevices.
Eventually, it created an opening and pulled the door apart with its teeth.
A family of four was inside the building.
The house was silent.
The house was loud.
The house was silent.
Another wolf found soone inside a shack.
A third one hunted soone down that was running in the distance.
Eventually, all the wolves found their victims and carried them away. It didn't matter whether they were dead or alive.
The wolves were still intimidated by the Mage Guards, and they didn't want to stay longer than necessary.
After a while, all the wolves vanished, and the humans slowly dared to exit their hos again.
Yet, the terror of what had happened today could still be felt.
This was terrifying!
This was worse than being hunted by the Mage Guards!
This was worse than being hunted by the gangs!
And then, the mortal district entered a period of infighting and blaming.
