Hours Later, Abyssal Outpost
The outpost loomed before them, its dark spires rising against the crimson sky. Aiden, Myne, and Dren crept through the shadows, their movements silent and precise. Myne's shadowmancy cloaked them, rendering them nearly invisible to the patrolling guards.
Inside the outpost, the trio moved swiftly. Myne's shadows silenced guards, while Dren's blades struck with deadly precision. Aiden led them with unwavering focus, his senses attuned to every sound and movement.
They reached the communications room, where Abyssal operators monitored glowing screens. Aiden gave a silent signal, and in an instant, the room descended into chaos. Myne's shadows wrapped around the operators, while Dren dismantled the equipment with brutal efficiency.
"Phase one complete," Aiden whispered into his communicator. "Rick, you're up."
