Her breath froze in the air. The fox inside Iana warmed her soul and body. Yet the cold managed to get sneak into her winter jacket and grab a sneeze that echoed through the unusually empty streets. At this time of day, the scum of Oak Town crawled out of their warm and for a large part comfortable caves and included themselves in the large complex of crime to earn an existence. For many, a straight path had turned to fiction a long time ago. Iana was supposed to be one of them. But right now, she couldn't feel that way. Not after what had just recently happened. Step after step she carried her cold body through the streets. Towards the train station. She would leave, the day had brought nothing useful. Iana had real reasons to come here this time. Not just to hang out in the raunchy Oak Inn, having meaningless chats that distracted her from pesky problems.
A sigh hushed out of Iana. She was thinking about all of the faces she had viewed in the newspaper. 15 people dead in the last two months. It was said that the corpses were completely torn apart and tossed all over Oak Town and its surroundings, some bodies as far as 10 miles out of the walls of the historic city. Iana felt obligation to come here and see for herself. The notice had apparently gone round. Apparently none of the petty street rats ever read newspaper too closely. The talk was of a serial killer running around. The reporters gave him the name "mage-killer" as all of the victims were mages. Some more famous than others. A shock for the mage community, but the Magic Council didn't want to investigate because they didn't want to call out a regular human for killing powerful mages. That would probably seem too weak. The public image had to be kept polished.
After hating the Magic Council enough, Iana took a right. It wasn't far to the station, only a few more blocks and she would finally be on her way home. The atmosphere was amazingly unsettling. The cold crept through the tiled streets making it inherently uncomfortable to be walking around outside. Another sigh escaped out of Iana's throat. She was a genuinely paranoid person, but the feeling of being watched was somehow different than usual. She didn't make anything of it though. She kept up the pace, brushing through Oak Town and the occasional pedestrian.
