The return to Vampire Realm was anything but quiet.
Word of the teams arrival filtered through the outer lattices before the group had fully crossed the last barrier. Lucian was already on the observation platform with full medical and containment detail when Lucifer's group landed in a uneven line of blood, smoke, and borrowed strength. Damaris hung heavily against Lucifer's side. Lilith was only upright due to the fact that Nyx's darkness was still bracing her. The rest of the breach team looked as if they had crawled from a war rather than a successful mission.
Lucian was already issuing orders after one look at them. "Get the freed progenitors to the deep recovery halls. Anita first among the wounded. Rhazor next. No public reports until we know what followed you home."
