Antiqua

Who: Chrysos, Skylos, Cadfael
Where: The Kineas residence, in a southern enclave of the Sacred City
When: Year ???, at a time when torches and gaslight have long begun their nightly vigil
What:

[ Many neighborhoods are quiet, these days, the streets filled with a stillness that speaks of houses empty and houses barely occupied. When the sky comes to darkness it's harder to ignore the stifling feeling in the air, an ever-present weight of fear and uncertainty and tension, growing day after day for those who still have capacity or want to feel. Wondering who will be next, vowing not to be the next, wondering why the gods do nothing.

From one house, a sudden roar torn from a man's throat breaks the night's silence, followed by the repeated sounds of metal smashing into metal and glass. ]
