As they approached the gates of Tenebrus, the familiar silhouette of the sprawling city came into full view.
The imposing, hugely tall stone walls still stood as tall and unwavering as the first day the two of them laid eyes on them.
For a place that had served as their home base for the last few weeks, or had it been a month?... Whatever the case, it now almost felt surreal to return, knowing that their time there was coming to an end.
Mira and Alex made their way through the bustling entrance with their shiny, bold VIP passes, garnering a few looks from those in the normal line.
But they could only stare in envy as the guards gave them respectful nods as they passed through the gates with ease.
The two of them were now well known figures to the city guard, as their antics at the mission hall during their first visit to the city had spread far and wide.
"It's strange…"
Mira mused softly, glancing around the bustling activity.
