The evening was still. The sun was slowly setting over Hargeon and Lamia Scale. A crisp warm breeze and the orange color of the sunset made the landscape beautiful and serene. Earlier in the day guild master Zuo Cii had departed from the guild to fulfill a past arrangement. He had told all that he would return shortly after the sun set fully with good news and a surprise for the entire guild. His arrival at the guild was soon but it would become apparent that it was not soon enough. For darkness swept over the sky, the sun had not yet set, rather it had been blotted out. The breeze stopped and the world darkened as an unnatural dome formed over Hargeon, it did not look black rather it looked like a complete absence of anything. No light could pierce it, the winds died unable to reach the town and efforts to break the dome in anyway would be futile as it would seem most invincible. In panic citizens fled from their homes as a din started to brew over the town. Shrouded by the chaos and darkness a band of three figures cloaked in black darted through the streets heading towards the center of the great port town. Slowly lacrima street lights would flicker to life and police would take the streets in an attempt to restore order but unaware of the real danger their efforts would soon prove in vain. For the hooded figures seemed of little consequence at the moment to the panicking masses compared to the ominous darkness hanging over their heads. Already some mages of Lamia Scale had set out from the white cathedral of the guild hall in an attempt to help address the problem in their own ways. These mages would soon regret their decision as to their dismay after only a couple minutes of the great dome appearing it vanished as quickly as it appeared.
For only a moment did the people think they were safe as they all fell silent until a single fearful cry rang out across the town "The guild hall!" In that moment every pair of eyes in the city turned to the great building of marble at the center of Hargeon and countless hearts sank as they realized the crisis was not over. For the stark white symbol of peace was now hidden from sight trapped in a much smaller personal dome of darkness. The mages who had left desperately attempted to attack the dome with their magic, trying to break back in to their home but it was for naught. The dome was unbreakable, no one could get in no one could get out. Lamia Scale was trapped, cut off from the world, and in grave danger. For the hooded figures had now infiltrated and were preparing to reveal their malicious presence.
