"My liege. It's what we have feared. Over half the city has vanished without a trace, and the surrounding landscape is... different." The person who spoke, if it could be called a person, looked to be some sort of animal. The snout, the large ears, long neck, and body, with a distinct fur pattern of a brown overcoat with a white underbelly fur. From your own perspective, this looked like some sort of walking and talking weasel. To make things stranger, however, it was wearing what looked to be armor, along with a sword at its side.
The person who responded back, however, was the individual seated on the throne next to you. And just like the weasel who spoke, this one was just as strange.
"This worries me..." The person who spoke looked like a giant white lion. Just like the armored weasel, this one too was wearing armor of sorts.
"Get a clear account of how many warriors are left, and how many of our people are still here." The talking lion commanded.
"Yes, my liege." The weasel, bowing his head, said curtly before standing up and exiting the throne room.
It was silent for a moment, before the lion sighed, and he turned towards you.
"Thoughts? You think some sort of grand magic did this?"
