CH 003 : Something Isn't Right

Imperial Highway - Side Forest (180 league to El-Glasya)

Forcas was stunned to discover these riches.

What manner of Djinn left these here?

Sensing something amiss, He looks around.
Failing to find anything. he calls for his men

"Men!!! Gather round!"

"Aye, Milord."
"Sure thing Milord."

Coming near, they were as flabbergasted as he was!
"Milord, how did these get here?" asked one of his soldiers.

Raum, however, drew his bow and nocked an arrow to it
"I don't like this Milord. What manner of mad creature would just up and leave these riches?"

One step ahead of his subordinates, Forcas was already scanning the area with his Fallen Arts.

Focusing his attention to his inner self, he began his Minor Cant

" Body is the home of Soul,
Soul is the beacon of Power,
I am the One blessed with Power,
Heed my call and Warn me!

Dark Augury!"

a faint wave seems to emanate from Forcas and begins to inundate the surrounding.
Confident that the quarry wouldn't be able to detect his divination, Forcas unleashed his power.

However.

Boom!

A shockwave hits them all!

"what was that?"
"It came from over there!" The men pointed deeper into the forest.

What? This can't be. Only a person practicing the Arts would be able to do as such. Forcas is worried of the implication this fact brings.

Something isn't right with this situation!
