[Two Days Later]
'I'm getting tired of all this wasted time.'
The thought circled through Azel's mind as the Nightfall Citadel grew larger on the horizon. They had spent two days floating through the Underworld's sky when teleportation would have been instant.
He could see the Citadel clearly now, its massive walls rising from the red stone like black teeth. It matched Bonehall's size almost exactly, though something about it felt different.
The closer they got, the more pronounced the difference became. Darkness seemed to gather around the structure, not just shadow but an actual absence of light that swallowed everything near it.
Azel's gaze shifted to the right where the Soul Sea rippled in the distance, its ethereal surface reflecting colors that looked amazing.
He wanted to change course and fly using that path instead, but it would add days to their journey.
