[Color=#00FFFF]“All fated to die”[/color] the words struck a silent cord within the elf, his words slightly somber. [Color=#00FFFF]“If fate can be defied are you truly tampering with its threads, or was the interaction merely predetermined. An illusion of control.”[/color]

[Color=#00FFFF]“Limited options in a dire situation is a great way to peel the layers back.”[/color] He smirked looking at the cultist. 

The brief philosophical conversation had been safely contained in the sound bubble Mikhail had created. Salty sea water raged around them. The lack of sound coming from water crashing into the docks gave a rather eerie feeling. If one of their men fell into the water and drowned in the depths, none would be wiser.

Their guide through the darkness would eventually come to a halt. His large hat billowing in the weather conditions as a powerful gust of wind struck the group. The rain picked up in its pace and began to pelt the group in a strong torrent, further weighing down their clothes.

[Color=#00FFFF]“Hug the walls, we’re going to wrap around the building and into the drain. Hope you guys don’t mind smelling like absolute garbage. We’ll put our dry cleaning on the captain's tab. Unfortunately you’re out of luck cultist.”[/color] A smirk formed on his face as he hastily put his back to the stone fortress and wrapped around its perimeter. 

The mantle of darkness shrouded the group nicely, making them no different from the dark of night outside. The storm drain also wasn’t too far away. The elf was able to make out its round silhouette in the dead of night. The stench was already burning his nose in the small glimpses he inhaled. The elf strummed some more notes on his guitar, sending a wave of energy that blew the drain gate open sending a flood of sewage out into the water.

[Color=#00FFFF]“Alright children, everyone in the crap hole. Just watch out for alligators and large rats.”[/colod] He gave a devilish smile as he looked towards his cohort. Most of them returned a bleak expression towards the bard before reluctantly entering.
