Guzman had been in the village for one day, and already the first deaths had occurred. Mostly the old, one toddler had died, but almost everyone showed symptoms. Everyone except Talno Remus, Talno was born gluten free, which means poisoning the wheat supply has little effect on him.

Talno, during the past 24 hours had noticed the populations demeanour changing, even the most energetic people were sickly and tired. The old were dying, was this what the dragons did to villages that didn't produce enough; were the legends true?

3 days had passed and people were dying at an alarming rate. Guzman stalked the alleys and watched with delight all the death he had caused, it made him especially happy when people died at other peoples funerals. Some thought of Guzman as radical, but he just thought of himself as efficient.
