章 107: Chapter 107 - A shadowy figure (partial 18+)

A little over an hour had passed since Viljar left the Gunnulf residence, Erik's old home. Shadows stretched long and thin across the snow-blanketed ground, cast by the dimming light that still lingered in the sky above the silent, mostly empty houses.

Outside, in the cold, late evening air of Frostvik, the soft sound of snow crunching underfoot sounded in the air.

An unknown figure, cloaked in the anonymity provided by the dim light, moved cautiously from one shadow to the next. Each step was deliberate, avoiding the patches of snow that looked too crisp and might betray their presence with a louder crunch.

The figure was clearly adept at sneaking. 

They paused at the edge of one building, their breath forming small clouds of mist that dissipated quickly into the cold air.
