[Heart]

A bird flies over the dimly lit town of Haark, a port city in Merstial. The streets, almost devoid of citizens and having very few guards patrolling the streets, have little chance to catch the several prisoners who were just released. They scatter in several directions, running from cover to cover trying to avoid the law. Many of these prisoners are on their own, but a few groups did form.

Mink Orduno, Vlamad Horkenson Abaddon Windrunner, Isadora Mikhail, Eric the Red, and a man searching for his dog, Jor, each dash to an alley way in the city, seeking to find refuge in the home of Eric's mother, outside of the town.
