Yumi's grip tightened on the haft of the scythe, the supple leather creaking lightly. The mist wrapped around her, swallowing her up in a world of whiteness. Every splash from her footsteps was painfully loud in her ears, every ripple in the viscous liquid telegraphed her position.

So she stilled.

Holding out a hand to the side, she glanced at Aramis behind her and placed a finger over her lips. The mist continued to shiver with sorrowful memories conjured from the depths of the past, reflecting off her cobalt irises. Once, such visions might have unsettled her—but they no longer did. The mage wanted to drown her in grief, to cloud her mind, but sorrow had long been her companion, and it would not claim her today.

The water lapping at her ankles rippled once more, then settled as she rooted herself in place in the cold, unyielding water. Her eyes closed, her breathing slow and even, letting the mist and memories swirl around her without affecting her. She let the darkness sharpen her other senses. Every drip of water from the pillars, every faint stir of the fog against her skin, every subtle shift in the chamber was a message she could read.

Yumi had hunted men long enough to know how to wait in silence. She let the mist curl around her, the sorrowful visions swirling uselessly against her calm. Every heartbeat, every whisper of water, every ghost of motion was a signal she could interpret. The mage may have cloaked himself in illusions, but hunters do not chase phantoms — they strike when their prey reveals itself.

And when that moment came, she would be ready.
