The night draped Shinon and Malakai in a shroud of darkness as they embarked on their journey towards the Eclipse's supply point.
The post-apocalyptic terrain lay before them, a harsh reminder of a once-thriving civilisation that was reduced to ruins and desolation.
Buildings, once vibrant with life, now stood as silent monuments to a world that had crumbled into chaos. The stars above blinked like distant embers, their feeble light barely reaching the lifelessness below.
Amid the shadows that cloaked their movements, a palpable tension hung between Shinon and Malakai. The silence that had enveloped them since leaving their hideout was weird. Shinon, wanting to know more about Malakai and to understand their enemy, decided to break the ice.
"So," he began cautiously, "tell me more about the Eclipse. How did they become so powerful? What's their ultimate goal?"
Malakai, his face obscured by the darkness, hesitated for a moment before speaking.
