But recently, people have been disappearing without a trace. A popular merchant watches the number of reoccurring customers dwindle as the months pass, and a nobleman finds there's less and less work to be done. Could this have anything to do with that explosion, and what was that awful sound? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ongoing work written by kimikeiki and edited by Kaivu.
