Under the cloak of night, the camp slept peacefully, unaware of Shinon's quiet departure. His decision weighed heavily on him, but the allure of the mysterious Lunarisite mine was too strong to ignore.
He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the situation than meets the eye. If the mine were usual, Marcus or the others wouldn't have tried to hide its existence. Which meant there was something else going on there.
Shinon moved stealthily through the shadows, his steps muffled by the soft muddy floor. Just as he was about to slip away unnoticed, one of the guards patrolling the camp caught a glimpse of movement.
'This fucker is keeping an eye on us?'
Shinon thought about slipping away in the shadows, but he wanted to see what the guard would do after seeing him. After all, since they were on the same side, he shouldn't be surprised or turn confrontational.
