Night befell upon Astoria, painting the sky a black expanse with white and rainbow dots illuminating its darkness.
The streets were embraced in the warm and cozy shine of lights from the street lights and shops.
But deep within Astoria, where streets were stranded and no light reached its vicinity, two figures were standing in front of a normal metal door.
They both were Arthur and Anders, preparing to venture inside the Black Market.
Even with Misha's insistence, Arthur had not allowed her to come with him because of some reasons.
First off, although he and she both hated to admit, She would only attract suspicion to both of them and would be a liability to the operation as she could do nothing.
She was useless until Arthur would be in mortal danger and it was for this purpose that he had allowed her to be nearby if anything like that arose.
After all, today was going to be no normal visit.
