Fiona adjusted her visor, her face tense as she looked over the battlefield again.
And yet something still felt off.
"…Wait," she said suddenly, eyes narrowing.
"Hold on—does this mean…"
Liora tilted her head slightly but didn't interrupt.
Fiona stepped forward, brows furrowing.
"Don't tell me. We're inside Aurelius territory, aren't we?"
Liora nodded once.
Fiona's eyes widened.
"What the actual hell—why are we here?!"
"You brought me to one of their rogue testing zones?!"
She threw her hands up.
"And you just casually let me stream it?!"
"Mutated Chimawren, failed Sovereign freaks—are you insane?!"
Liora didn't flinch.
Her expression remained perfectly neutral.
Only the faintest smirk played on her lips.
"Because today," she said, "I'm hunting."
Fiona blinked. "Hunting what? Mutated beasts?"
Liora shook her head.
"Hunting Aurelius."
Fiona froze.
"What?"
Before she could ask again, movement echoed from the far side of the rubble.
