Selene walked through the streets of the Demon King's Capital with her hood pulled low, occasionally glancing at the small circular device Zane had handed her.
The blinking pointer marked her own position, while a tiny red dot remained fixed farther ahead.
She quietly adjusted her direction.
Jax...
