How is this possible? How are they coming at us without getting detected by the human world?
I stood on top of one of the Crimson Fortress' towers, my eyes fixed on what we were up against. Over the horizon, I could see the boundary that separated where the spell stopped and where it started. I could see the human world outside The Shade where the sun still shone. I realized that the sun hadn't risen yet. They meant to attack in the wee hours of the morning. My gut clenched. All the while, we'd been expecting them to attack at night.
I was surrounded by my most powerful warriors, who had spent centuries fighting for the safety and protection of The Shade. We were all well aware that on this day, we were up against forces far more powerful than ones we had fought before. Helicopters were approaching – about five of them – ready to fly over the fortress and land on the island.
