The marshlands near Blackwater Bay were a treacherous place, known for their dense fog, murky waters, and the hidden dangers that lurked within. Draven's forces set out at first light, moving with caution as they navigated the twisting paths and tangled undergrowth. The air was thick with humidity, and the sound of distant, unseen creatures filled the air.
Draven led the way, his senses on high alert. Aria, Kael, and Leandra were close behind, along with a contingent of seasoned Lionguard soldiers. The group moved in silence, their eyes scanning the surrounding marsh for any signs of movement.
"We're getting close," Leandra whispered as they reached a narrow ridge overlooking a small, swampy clearing. "The safehouse should be just beyond those trees."
Draven nodded, his gaze fixed on the path ahead. "We need to move carefully. If Vale was telling the truth, they'll be expecting trouble."
