Downtown liked to buzz during late evenings, especially when the sun had just begun to set over the horizon. All types of people, mortal and undead, had adjusted to a graveyard lifestyle. As the sun sank, floating lanterns all around lit up like fireflies.
Through the buzz, someone stood atop the basin to one of many fountains within the area. The woman looked naked of the skin that her dress was made of, contrasting a dark red to the pale surface. She rose her hands up and preached to those below her: "Listen to my words! Do not fall prey to the *blind hag that pretends to lead you all into prosperity! It is only through the words I speak that we will find redemption for falling into the wrong path, towards the sun that blinds you and not the darkness that whispers truth!"
Now and again, someone would stop to stare at the ghastly woman, but eventually, they walked away, shook their heads, and let the crazy one babble.
It wasn't until she began to dig her nails into her palms and draw bloody lines onto the fountain did anyone rush over to question or stop her.
Every person that did suddenly dropped to the ground, either dead or fainted. Several mages tried to encounter her, only to fall to the ground as well. Downtown was suddenly in a state of panic.
The skinless woman chanted, raising her palms into the air.
"You shall learn!"
