Jack started moving forward, his pace increasing from a walk to a jog. Kaedor and Loryn matched his speed without question, trusting that their master had a plan.
"We need to get closer," Jack explained as they ran. "Close enough that I can intervene at the right moment. When the Voidweaver falls, when the others are weakened and focused on claiming the spoils..."

They crashed through the swamp vegetation, Jack's enhanced physical capabilities allowing him to move at speeds beyond a normal human's.
Kaedor kept pace; his skeletal form was surprisingly agile.
Loryn melted into shadows and reappeared ahead of them repeatedly, using his shadow demon abilities to traverse the terrain without physical obstacles.
