SWOOOSH!
In the darkness of the night, a few figures stepped out of the portal one after another. The air was cold and damp, and the ground beneath their boots was soft with fallen twigs and rot.
Ruth and Ramos took the lead alongside Elliot, their expressions hard and focused. The rest of the group followed in silence.
But as they turned around, their expressions fell.
Behind them, Kael and Martina walked out last. Kael was wearing a strange-looking mask that covered the upper half of his face.
Ramos stared at him and snapped, "Are we going to a fancy dress?"
Kael adjusted the mask calmly. "I need to hide my face, or it might draw other evil groups toward us."
"… "
No one argued after that.
Everyone knew what he meant. All evil groups had people they hated deeply, but Kael might be the only one wanted by almost all of them. The Abyssal Sect had not yet issued a most wanted notice for him.
