Splitting Up
Akun nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. "Alright, everyone, we should be on our way."
"Alright," his companions replied in unison, their voices echoing softly in the narrow alley.
With a confident stride, Akun took the lead, gesturing for the others to follow. "Now, you all should follow me," he commanded, "it would be best to open the rift where there are fewer prying eyes."
Silently, they made their way down the dimly lit alley, the shadows of the buildings looming over them. As they passed by, a child on the street pointed towards them.
"Mommy, look! All these people are going into that dark place," the child whispered, his voice tinged with curiosity.
"Hush now," the woman replied, her voice filled with urgency. "We didn't see anything. We should hurry along." With a gentle tug, she pulled her son away, casting one last wary glance at the group disappearing into the shadows.
