*Last night, an unfamiliar transport vehicle entered our world's borders. When confronted, the vehicle unleashed an attack so devastating, it left our defense systems critically damaged. Moments later, the vehicle released unknown beings into our border and began an invasion of our city. Our king was quick to defend, however when the sun rose, our people and forces were pushed to evacuate and retreat to the inner walls*
*Other cities remain undisturbed by the invasion, however we are unsure of how long the peace will last. Citizen are urged to take refuge in the inner wall during this harrowing time.*
*The King has yet to make a public announcement, however sources say that the invaders are a species, who were previously thought to be extinct, called Kaijin. Some can take the form of a normal being, however most have a beastly appearance.*
"It was an invasion." You say.
"An attack that destroyed our defense systems, that's impossible. Those are powered by the Gods." Tailwind says with disbelief.
"This article is really demoralizing, who wrote this." You ask.
"Don't know, but our people take tremendous pride in our defense system. If an invasion broke it, that would destroy the hopes of many people."
You pick up another paper similar to the one before, dated only a few days after.
Its Headline: *EVACUATE TO INNER WALL*
*ALL OUTER CITIES HAVE BEEN INVADED, IF ANYONE IS READING THIS GET INTO THE KING'S WALL*
"We fell in less than a week... and I didn't even know." Tailwind says with a great sadness in her eyes.

"Blacksmith. I need you to tell me where my father is."
