Chapter 1: A Morning Like Any Other
The presence of Jeffrey at the tannery added a bit of gravity to the situation, but Tobias shrugged it off. Walking up to the front door, he banged on it a few times and then tried the handle. Behind him, he heard other footsteps along the narrow road. Glancing over his shoulder, Tobias saw several more people from town, some of them covering their noses. The smell certainly didn't bother Tobias however, the smell of rot and death was a familiar one to him... everything smelled that way to the young wizard.
Pushing the door open, Tobias called out, "Alvar? Where are you? Get out here, you're causing a panic. Alvar?"
His suspicions raised, Tobias looked carefully around the shop to see if anything was out of place. Though he didn't frequent the tannery, few people did, he was here probably as much as anyone else simply due to the proximity of his sister's fancy to his own dilapidated tower.
