We left the castle under the cover of darkness, the only light illuminating our path came from the flame-thrower minions who marched in front of us, Chloe and I. Their fiery weapons casting an eerie glow upon the surrounding landscape, the flickering light casting deep shadows that seemed to dance and writhe in the darkness. Minions, however, didn't require such light as they possessed the ability to see in the dimmest of conditions, their advanced eyes glinting in the darkness like a predator's.
As we journeyed on, the city wall came into view, looming in the distance like a sentinel of stone. I gave the order for the minions to extinguish their flames, the sudden darkness engulfing us as we approached. I had also ordered the "silent killer" minions to scale the back of the city and attempt to open the front gate.
