He was pleased to discover that most people were regular humans and only a few guards were actually shapeshifted Awakened. The map that Peonia had given him was accurate and moving something as big as a Gate in a single day was impossible.
Lith found the Gate easily and then assessed the quickest path from his starting point to his destination. Solus had no idea why he had left the ground floor without even touching the dimensional device, but she knew that Lith was slyer and more ruthless than her.
If he hadn't shared his plan with her it was probably because she wouldn't like it.
Lith returned to the third floor and much to her surprise, he allowed the guards to spot him. Under the magical lights of the City Hall, the tall figure clad in the black Voidwalker armor and with a crimson sheathe hung to his hip stuck out like a sore thumb.
