The dusk soon arrived with the red-orange tint fighting fiercely with the darkening skies.
Standing in the remote part of the palace were Eli and Leon along with their selected companions, Nathan and Randel.
Eli was clad in her robe and mask that was given by the late High Priest, the same artifact she wore when she first announced her existence during the internal war.
As for Leon, Nathan, and Randel, they all wore perfect disguises in order to not associate their identities with the Seirende Empire.
The team did not allow Mishael or any member of the Temple to join because of the possibility that the Pope might recognize them.
Upon careful deliberation, Nathan and Randel, whose abilities were not yet made public accompanied the two.
"All set?" Leon asked Eli and the two.
"We're good." Nathan and Randel replied with seriousness on their faces.
