Henry and Vicky emerged onto the deserted street, at New Athens' other side.
Every citizen already received the warning, so they left for the nearest shelter. The night's lateness also meant there weren't many people outside, especially since this was the calmer part of New Athens.
On either side, family homes stretched along the wide road. The dew on their perfect lawn glinted under the bright moonlight.
Behind the two teenagers, the military vehicles began arriving. While the soldiers evacuated the buildings, Vicky walked around looking for the Gate's exact position.
It would've been ideal if Realm Gates only opened in unoccupied spaces, but life wasn't perfect.
Vicky walked towards a four bedroom, two-story family home, and stopped at the edge of their lawn.
"Looks like we will need to pay for damages again… Great!"
She whispered to herself, then turned to Henry. "Is this house evacuated?"
"Yes… Try minimizing the destruction this time! It costs a lot to build new homes!"
