The evening was quiet, more than usual, especially at such an early time as 1930 hours. The streets and small parks used to be lively with many families and their kids walking around and having a great time. At the parks, parents would usually bring their kids along to have a 2 hour playtime at the jungle gyms or even the small splash areas that were open for the summer time. Already at week one, much of the parks and streets became empty and lifeless due to scared parents. For a good week already--children were dying at random.
The news had hit the young Nephalem right in the heart; at first the Redemption cult and Council Woman considered this to be some kind of disease spreading across the city--though, what kind of disease would only target just children, and just when they’re asleep? It got worse once the report of an 11th child was placed on the list of mysterious deaths in the city. The Council Woman of the Redemption cult could only turn the other cheek for this situation, which was strange that she would do so, considering this was the type to be in the “oddities” category, but due to the lack of leads on this case--there was really not much they could do. Madgie, however, did not dare to turn her back on this situation for sure. As far as she knew, whatever this thing is, is targeting just children that are 8 years or under; in which concerned her even more--since her little cousin is 8 years old.
Although the other Nephalem, Magnus, was on the same page as Madgie, he still needed some kind of lead in order to figure out what is going on. For now, all he could do was do some research, and stay on the side until Madgie really needed him. Though at this rate, she really considered on trying this solo--or at the very least work with someone who actually had some kind of humanity within them to try harder on stopping this problem from escalating.
The young Nephalem leaned forward over the edge of a building’s rooftop; completely in her true form, her wings blanketed over her shoulders while her white piercing eyes glanced down at the empty park nearby the building in complete worry. She remembered taking her little cousin to that park not too long ago, but now she couldn’t even take him anywhere, even after she got out of work, because her uncle and aunt were extremely worried for their son and wanted to keep a close eye on him. She understood where they were coming from, still though--she missed it when things were actually not as chaotic as this.
