As Pyris and his companions stepped through the shimmering portal, the world around them shifted. In an instant, they found themselves inside a small mansion, its exterior appearing weathered and abandoned.
Outside, vines crept along the walls, and the paint had long since chipped away, giving it the look of a forgotten relic. Yet, as you moved inside, the true nature of the mansion revealed itself—gleaming with life and opulence, it was a secret base of House Obsidian, meticulously maintained and hidden from prying eyes.
Luxurious furniture adorned the rooms, with state-of-the-art surveillance and magical wards ensuring their safety.
Pyris knew they would be safe here, but time was of the essence.
Before they could carry out their mission, they needed to fully understand the complex landscape of the Sunstone Empire, especially the dangerous region known as the Midnight Dominion, where their target, General Kassius, resided.
