The last of the trainees disappeared into the portal. Aria could hear the wind moan outside as the weather began to worsen, flakes of snow pressing up against the wards that were still active. They would not be active for long, she thought. The outpost sustained too much damage. Within a couple of days the runes would fail, exposing the outpost to the elements.
Aria looked around the ruined room one last time, her jaw set. There was still quite a bit of equipment remaining still, enough to show that not everybody followed her orders. But then again, she was the
Mist lead. The only ones she could really count on to consider following her orders were her Mists after all.
With luck, they would at least complete a
mission report. Aria threw a glance towards Dr. H, saying nothing before disappearing into the portal herself.
