As we moved deeper into the halo, a sense of eerie emptiness pervaded the environment. I found it strange and unsettling that not a single person crossed our path. While it might have initially brought relief, the absence of guards and personnel raised my concerns.
But we had anticipated this situation. Eliora wanted us to find her, and the lack of resistance seemed to support our prediction that she did. It was undoubtedly a trap, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that we were being observed every step of the way.
Nonetheless, we were prepared for this eventuality. Our plan was devised with the assumption of minimal guards in mind, and we intended to capitalise on this apparent advantage once we passed through the upcoming door.
