Chapter 70: The Traitor Among Us

The moon hung high in the night sky, displaying a scary lovely glow over the rough cliffs they intended to use to sneak inside the stronghold, it covered the path to the fortress. The group had been traveling for days, they had encountered several relentless attacks from the council's forces and the scary landscape. The morale of the allies was already wearing thin, and Aveline could feel the tension among her allies that was already visible and it was displaying like a storm that was about to occur.

Gabriel moved beside her, his sharp gaze checking around their surroundings. "We're getting close," he uttered with a whisper. "They know we're coming."

The rogue elder, Marek, wiped the sweat from his face. "That's an understatement. we are no more surprised by their influence anymore, We've been ambushed three times already when we have not gotten to our main destination. They're trying to check around lying to weaken us before we even reach the fortress."
