Kael did not venture deeper inside. Instead, he waited at the entrance, if that place could even be called an entrance.
He knew this dimension.
It was a separate mirror pathway, suspended between the mirror world and the abyssal dimension. A distorted passage that constantly shifted the point of occurrence, making direction, distance, and even logic unreliable.
Anyone who walked carelessly inside could be lost forever.
Moments passed.
The space rippled, as if a curtain of air had been pulled aside, and a figure slowly walked out of the shifting darkness.
"Lord… is that you?" the man asked, his voice cautious but familiar.
"Yes," Kael replied calmly upon hearing the tone.
The man pulled back his hood.
It was Brawn.
His eyes moved quickly from Kael to Ariana, then back again.
"How is the situation outside?" Brawn asked.
"Not optimistic," Kael said, shaking his head slightly. "You rats are hidden quite deeply. It's very difficult to pinpoint each of you and take you out."
