Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 5 - The Alley’s Man-Eating Demon The town’s main roads were packed with people, locals and foreigners alike, but one step into a back alley and the population switched to beggars and ruffians. As strong sunlight breeds dark shadow, the people who could not receive the blessings of the thriving city sunk into the darkness of its backstreets.

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 2 - The Silver Blade Cleaves the Seas “GHEEEEHH!?!” “Goddammit, will you shut up!? My head’s gonna split!!” I, Dietrich Maxwell, leapt forward on the deck and slashed the man before me. The dark-skinned man full of weird red tattoos sprayed blood everywhere as he fell overboard. “Tch…head feels like it’s going to explode…” I really drank too much last night…I was too excited for my first sea trip.
