Chapter 818 - Citadel's Shadow

While the central structure of the citadel was clearly once part of a larger building, the sprawling city that had slowly grown around it was far neater.  The massive tower at the center lorded over the much smaller buildings.

The city had normal facilities but like any massive power, there were forces that hid from the sun and public.  They were varied from simple dark markets for hard to find items obtained illegally to slave trade.

Down an alley that looked unremarkable. There was a door receded into the uneven brick walls that many would miss if they did not know it was there.

A cloaked figure seemed to emerge from one of the shadows.  No one had seen them walk down the street or down the alley, they just seemed to manifest into existence.

They came to the door and a flare of fire revealed a strange stone above the grimy door.  It had a formation carved into it.
