Across Eternity: Book 5 - Chapter 6

... focus on. As they traveled, they crossed through numerous villages and settlements, many razed to the ground. Were this done by marauders, they would have left their names behind to grow their infamy and develop a reputation, and unlike villages raided by Uther troops, there were no flags left standing atop a pile of bodies. What few corpses were left behind all showed claw and teeth marks and had been drained of blood. This was done by the Profane, seizing prisoners just as they had with Shannon’s tribe. The light which had so briefly glimmered in her eyes dimmed with each scene of destruction.

The only silver lining to the death and destruction was that it signaled they were getting closer to their destination, and at last, they found it. According to the Pack elite, the Profane had rebuilt and repurposed a city constructed when the dwarves once ruled Handent, but no such city was found when the trio arrived. Breaking free of the woods in the early morning, they looked out across the dark countryside and expected to see towers of hewn stone. Instead, they discovered a massive gray dome, like an artificial mountain.

The surrounding landscape had been stripped bare of trees and stomped flat by marching slaves and fiends. One such army of oppressed, ushered forth by their mutated captors, was herded towards a great wall surrounding the structure, with the massive doors providing the only visible entrance and exit.

“It’s not that. The magic you use for concealment, it’s not… it’s not perfect.”

Noah and Valia exchanged a glance. “What do you mean by that?” he asked.

Shannon couldn’t meet their gaze, and her ears twitched in embarrassment. “At night, when the two of you are together… you aren’t hidden very well.”

“So you’ve been watching us? Oh God,” Valia groaned with her hand over her face. When they first arrived in Sylphtoria, she didn’t mind everyone hearing her and Noah going at it, but that was out of spite for how the elves treated him for being human. This was different. Now, Shannon’s behavior throughout the trip made sense.

“Please forgive me, I didn’t mean to spy.”

“It’s not your fault,” said Noah. “Like you said, we weren’t hidden very well. Besides, the whole point was to test my magic to see how well it worked under different conditions, and now I know, so the experiment was a success. Regardless, let’s focus on the mission at hand. I can conceal one other person well enough for us to go unnoticed. However, I think the ...
