'This is perfect.'
Darion almost felt a surge of excitement. He had spent all this time sneaking around, observing soldiers, watching buildings, and trying to figure out where the important people were.
He had expected that getting anywhere near the Chief would be extremely difficult. Yet here he was. Being invited into a meeting.
'I'm actually going to hear what they're planning.'
Darion quickly followed the masked warrior. He made sure not to walk too quickly. He didn't want to look suspicious or make it obvious that he was eager to get there.
Instead, he adopted the same calm, confident posture he had been using since entering Vrethka. Shoulders straight. Steps steady. Head held high. He was supposed to be someone important. Someone who belonged here.
So he acted like it. 'Just act normal.'
The masked warrior walked ahead of him without saying another word. Darion followed.
They entered deeper into the building. The atmosphere immediately changed.
