... best approach would be if I go in alone, scout around, and come back. Then we can formulate a plan.”

“What if you get captured? There is probably another Profane like Tysinger in there,” Valia asked.

“If I’m not back by dusk, you’ll just have to come save me. Don’t worry; this is far from my first infiltration. You two wait here, and I’ll return as soon as I can.” Noah covered his eye, rendering himself invisible and causing Shannon to jerk in surprise. “Oh, that’s right, this is your first time seeing my true concealment. Can I trust you to keep my secret?”

Hearing his disembodied voice did little to ease her shock, but she still bowed her head. “Of course, My Lord.”

Noah set off towards the structure, crossing the barren ground. He was careful walking, trying to leave as few footprints as possible. His mana would stick to whatever he touched, concealing any marks he left behind, but it wore off the farther he moved, the same with hiding his scent.

Where the old buildings failed to meet the Profane’s needs, new buildings had been built, including great towers that held up the silken canopy. Men, women, and children gazed through barred windows with sunken eyes, eyes that had not seen sunlight in some time. They were packed like sardines, wallowing in filth and forced to fight for food and space. Guards moved through the city by the light of torches, all bearing parasites and indifferent to the suffering of innocents. However, the fiends were not the only enforcers in this prison.
