Hugo stood a mile away watching the rustic cabins that dotted the grassy plains. Trees stood out like spikes, dotting the borders of brick roads and unpolished homes. He was close to Denoda Town, at the banks of the great River Migotir. The river streamed through a valley in Denoda Parish, a few miles west of Migotir City.
Around him was naught but moon speckled darkness. At least it was not the kind of utter blackness that swallowed a person whole. It was instead a shadowy world painted in grey-scale.
Hugo activated both the Cloak of Thanatos and the concealment runes embedded within his cloak before setting off for the small town.
His information had stipulated that his target, a highly-ranked member of the royal guards of Migotir kingdom, frequented the village every few days.
