Everyone reached the village right when the rain was picking up and growing stronger. They had to hurry and rush to the nearest Inn. It was an old building at the edge of the village with a larger stable attached to it. All the people were either inside their homes or in the tavern drinking. No one could work in such bad weather, so Arad didn't even see any guards around, ending with him and everyone jumping over the Inn's locked fence gate, as it was only a meter tall. As they rushed toward the Inn's door, Arad finally noticed the first soul in this ruined village.
A woman, a beggar, rolled up in rags and took cover from the rain beneath the stable's wall.
He stopped walking, and so did everyone behind him. "Why are you staying outside?" He asked, and the woman slowly moved, her eyes finally spotting him in the middle of the heavy rain.
