I ran as fast as I could, weaving through the narrow corridors of the basecamp, filled with the smell of metal and old wood. The light of the wings on my wrist still burned, lighting my way like a magical torch.
Outside, the night air bit into my skin, but I didn’t care. I had to get away, had to escape before the hunters found my trail. I sprinted across the basecamp yard, hiding behind stacks of wood and old vehicles parked haphazardly.
