Romans & histoires Black Company Map

Damian’s POV Storm clouds gathered slowly over the bayou as evening settled across the estate. The sky had turned the color of bruised steel, the heavy air thick with the promise of rain. Somewhere in the distance, thunder rolled faintly. Inside the house, the tension hadn’t faded since Selene Blackwind’s visit. If anything, it had sharpened. I stood in the study with Luca, staring down at the map spread across the table. Several territories were marked in red. Marcus Blackwind’s territory, Neutral pack regions, And ours.

The leader of the men in black stepped forward, his glass mask shining weirdly under the hospital lobby lights. He looked more like a monster from some nightmare movie than a real person. He didn’t bother glancing at the police or the nurses cowering behind the desks. All his attention locked onto the yellow paper in Maya’s hand. “Three seconds,” he growled, voice deep and rough. “Hand over the map, or the boy dies first.”

The scroll unfurled, revealing a detailed map of Blackrock City’s streets. Leo forced his eyes away from Eve, walking to the table and pointing at the dense red marks on the map. His expression turned unprecedentedly serious. “Sis, you’re in big trouble.” He pointed at the red dots. “According to our spies, half of the Dark Blood Duchy’s elite death squads have snuck into Blackrock City under the guise of the Warrior Tournament. These red dots are the spots they’ve been scouting the past two days. They’ve surrounded the central arena so tightly, not even a fly can get in or out.”

Captain Azer said with a faint smile. "Our Luna has come to observe, not inspect." The room relaxed almost immediately. I smiled. "I'm afraid the Captain is correct." "A routine inspection wasn't my intention." One of the younger officers let out a breath that earned him a discreet nudge from the colleague beside him. Captain Azer pretended not to notice. "If you'll follow me..." He led me towards the largest map in the room. It depicted the entirety of Blackwood's territory. The eastern forests. The southern trade routes.

"They found the entrance." Samuel nodded. "I expected they would." He walked to the wooden table and picked up a folded map. Then spread it open. It wasn't a map of Lagos. It was a blueprint. An underground network of tunnels, chambers, and safe houses stretching beneath several parts of the city. Samuel pointed to one location marked with a black circle. "They're here." Then to another. "We're here." Finally, his finger stopped on a third location. No label. Just a symbol.

~ A small glitchy sound echoed within the room, and an overhead panel suddenly appeared above the orb. [Registered Item Located] {Enchanted Item (Grade 6): White Amber has been located. Coordinates will be displayed below.} [Tap For More] The room initially fell into a tense silence, but Aldred broke it by tapping the panel. Instantly, a detailed map of the Black Market sprawled across the display, resembling a typical mobile app map. Numerous buildings dotted the map, each marked distinctly. The KariBlanc Group gave off a ‘blue’ glow, which was meant to signify the starting point of the journey.

The black-masked man continued, "What? Scared? I'm just a small fry. The Black King League is far more terrifying than you can imagine. Sooner or later, you will die at our hands." Adrian's gaze turned cold. He suddenly stomped on the black-masked man's right leg again and asked icily, "Where is the Black King League's headquarters?" "Ahhhh!" The black-masked man screamed in agony, sobering up in his haste and fearing Adrian's torture. "I'll talk, I'll talk! The headquarters is in Abry Hills. I have a map on me. Here, take it!" Trembling, he took a map from his mouth and handed it to Adrian.

The resonance map glowed softly in Crane’s hands, marking their path to the Blackwood. “Everything’s ready,” Crane said, his voice steady. “The Blackwood is dense and unpredictable, but if we stick to the map, we should reach the fracture by nightfall.” Jamie adjusted the strap of his skateboard, his usual humor absent. “Let’s just hope we don’t run into anything worse than tendrils this time.” Vivienne smirked, twirling her dagger. “If we do, we’ll handle it. Same as always.” Callan stepped forward, their glowing eyes scanning the horizon. “The balance awaits. Let us not falter.”
