章 137: Riders in the night

The lands where Freja resided had descended into a shroud of profound darkness. The night sky draped the surroundings in an eerie stillness, interrupted only by the rhythmic chirping of crickets that echoed through the expanse.

Within close proximity to the houses that housed Freja, a group of individuals mounted atop formidable creatures emerged. These beasts possessed elongated bodies enveloped in sleek black fur, their powerful legs propelling them forward with remarkable swiftness.

The riders themselves were clad in black, their armor adorned with interlocking chains that mirrored the darkness of the night. Their heads were concealed beneath bascinet helmets, distinguished by intricately designed fronts and visor openings shaped like eyes, leaving a haunting impression.
