When we reached the meeting point, it was still ten minutes before the vehicle would arrive. There was nothing we could do but wait, hiding in this spot where the trees were sparse. Yet we were not letting ourselves go, we were alert, as we should always be.
The sun had already set. The darkness of night was slowly descending on the area, nothing could be heard except the wind blowing gently.
It was in the middle of this silence that Rulhan suddenly stirred.
We quickly turned to him. Breaking the silence, especially by one of us, was not something we expected.
"What happened?"
Gurdas asked, raising his eyebrows, but Rulhan didn't even look at him. His brow furrowed as he narrowed his eyes and focused straight ahead.
"I received a notification from AVRES. The vehicle'll be here soon, but..."
Tension settled over the space, a restlessness slowly spreading through my body. Rulhan's demeanor was not his usual.
"But what?"
