Melas Twich was a small town close to the border of Echos. That part of the country bordered a no-man-land populated by spirit beasts. It took Amon four days riding his Thunder Roc to reach the place.
On arrival, he walked around the streets to get a hang of the place. The town was sparsely populated. There were not many facilities. Only a few kingdom soldiers were seen guarding the town. Many shops were closed. This seemed to be a declining settlement. No wonder the kingdom didn't bother sending people here to check the rumors about the demon cult.
As he was walking the streets, he heard rapid footsteps approaching. He recognized these footsteps.
He moved to the side just as someone tried to grab him from behind. Tuang Yin stumbled and almost fell forward for missing her mark.
"I still can't surprise you," she laughed.
