It was easy to see the distinction between the North and the South from this vantage point. A singular, long tunnel stretched out ahead, cutting directly through the earth and running under the river bridge. Apparently, this was a relic from an older era, a time when the world relied on regular four-wheeled vehicles instead of the modern flying types powered by crystals.
The tunnel had been designed to allow travel under the water to reach the other side, and at its entrance, a heavy guard had been established. This was where most of the mages, specifically those of a higher rank, had been stationed to monitor movement.
The keyword was "had," because they had already been eliminated. Raze traveled through the passage quickly, his footsteps echoing in the empty, damp space. When he finally reached the other side and scanned the area, he could confirm that there were no more Noble Guild members left in the vicinity. The path was clear.
