Cool moonlight, partially obscured by clouds, spilled intermittently onto the earth.
The town street, bustling during the day, was now somewhat deserted, with only a few scattered figures present.
In this predominantly agricultural French town, after 9 PM was bedtime. Thus, most shops along the street had already half-lowered their shutters, preparing to close.
The streetlights lining the road cast a pale yellow glow onto the town's pavement, dyeing the ground a shimmering gold.
However, the long distances between the streetlights meant large areas of the town remained shrouded in darkness, forcing the few wanderers on the roadside to rely on the bright moonlight for vision.
Altrouge currently strolled along this deserted street. Though moving straight forward, she perfectly avoided the streetlight glow, constantly bathing in the cool moonlight.
