The southern outpost was on high alert having gotten wind of the happenings in the east.
The Enforcers went about their task with increased fervor, preparing to move out at a moment's notice should the situation take a turn for the worse at BlackWatch.
Of course, this didn't mean that the outpost was to be abandoned,d, and so a fair number would still be left behind to ensure nothing untoward happened during this critical stage.
It was in such a tense atmosphere that a figure appeared in the barren land, her features partially obscured as she made her way over to the gates of the outpost.
Her steps were measured, each one causing the aether to ripple despite no attempt to exert her Will.
A beautiful and alluring smile adorned her lips as she stopped several meters away from the gates before muttering softly. "It's almost over."
Her eyes flashed with excitement just as she was about to take another step forward only for a voice to reach her.
