The shadow Realm: Someone Joining the Team
Tiana's eyes gleamed with a mischievous spark as she leaned in closer to Advaith. "I've been studying the guards' behaviour, and I think I've found a weakness," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the distant hum of the portal.
"The way they repeat the same phrases, 'No entry without the Shadow Key,' it's almost robotic," Tiana explained, her smile spreading across her face like a sunrise. "I think we can manipulate them, make them bring the key to us."
Advaith's confusion deepened, his brow furrowing in scepticism. "How? They're not going to just hand it over."
Tiana's eyes sparkled with amusement, her gaze dancing with excitement. "Leave that to me. I've been observing their patrol routes, and I think I've found a pattern. We can create a situation where they think we're trying to escape, and they'll bring the key to lock us in."
