Awaited patiently at the end of the bridge, his idle time watching her however was now gone once realizing her skillful steps.

Keeping his sword drawn, he stepped forward, penetrating the thick darkness that seemed to swallow him whole without a single hitch in his step.<br/><br/>If isalisk followed, she wouldn’t be able to see the knight until she too stepped into the unearthly realm.
