As the first rays of sunlight break over the horizon, the thick fog begins to thin, revealing the ruined village beneath it.
Kyle watches as the mist coils and fades, and he knows this is their chance.
"It's time to move."
He announces, his voice calm but firm.
Bruce surveys the horde in front of them and clicks his tongue.
"Damn it. They're still here."
Melissa grips her weapon tighter.
"Did you really think they'd just disappear?"
Bruce shrugs.
"I was hoping."
The creatures, half-dead and mindless, slowly turn toward them. Their bloodshot eyes reflect nothing but hunger.
Kyle turns to the head knight.
"We'll have to break through. Stick close, or you'll die"
He says.
The head knight narrows her eyes.
"You're getting too comfortable giving me orders."
She says dryly.
Kyle smirks.
"You're free to stay behind if you want."
She scoffs but doesn't argue. Instead, she tightens her grip on her sword.
