The lost city of Aeth (1)

"Stay in formation, no wandering off now."

Disengaging the safety on her weapon Lux started walking towards the two massive stone gatekeepers which guarded the entrance to Aeth. Wearing a vest with spare magazines and inferred markers, Lux had also attached a flashlight to the barrel of her rifle which cut a clear path through the void which surrounded her. Walking behind Lux was Alice and Mare with their own rifles, they were tasked with keeping eyes on the flank while Lilly and Eos acted as rear guard. Maintaining that formation and a cautious pace, the group arrived at the outermost houses of the lost city after about 5 minutes.

"Alice, send out the Lanterns."

"Okay."

Pressing a switch on her vest, the large square backpack she wore opened as sounds of small rotors could be heard.

"W-what are those?"

Looking at the small, tennis ball sized flying sphere's why scattered into the air from Alice's backpack, Eos was understandably confused.
