Snippet #2055014

Daniel approached and Rylie stayed still. His arm went around her and once more the shadow engulfed them. Once more Rylie stayed still not wishing to interfere with Daniel's movement through the darkness.

When they finally stopped and Daniel took some space to regain his breath, Rylie looked around. Fighting had gone through here and by the lack of clean up it wasn't that long ago. Some of the bodies were military, some were not. Rylie grew concerned that maybe there would be no one left of the group they were looking for. If the fighting had been bad then they might be dead or scattered.

She looked at Daniel, he was scanning the docks. Rylie shook her head. “I know nothing about them other than there is group down here and some have powers. Ember mentioned them. However...” Rylie gestured to the bodies and other damage. “We may be too late.”

She scanned the buildings in the area. “I think it might be best if we keep my affiliations to ourselves. Given what I see here we might not get a warm reception.” She looked over at Daniel.

“I think we start walking and see if anyone comes to us. There are some shipping warehouses there.” She pointed to the right. “And an apartment two blocks backwards.”

She turned to the left. “But given the path of damage I am thinking they hold up somewhere over that way.” With a nod of her head Rylie started to walk towards the left.
