Mauro woke up with a massive headache. What the fuck happened? He felt like he was mauled by three bears, healed back to health and mauled again. It felt like he was floating. Ash I feel ash. He remembered then. Lilith, she was the Shadow. His eyes opened wide as he turned his head and looked around. They were still in the tunnels of their hideout and he was being, carried? He looked down on his own body and saw the thick ashen ropes around him. Limbs? He asked himself as he followed them, finding their origin to be none other than Lilith. She was walking in silence, glancing his way when she realized he was awake. No words were spoken, neither by him nor her. The situation was clear. He had lost and would face the guard. She didnt kill me yet. Did I injure her? He had activated all his skills, had pushed himself further than he ever had. No memory remained from what happened after but he knew he had tasted blood. Maybe she realized Im of more use alive. Or, He stopped himself from smirking, the thought flashing through his mind. There was a chance but first he would wait and see. Mauro could bide his time, he knew how to talk, if anything and he knew there were things she wanted. His storage ring was gone of course but she had no access to it, not until he was dead or gave her access. Waiting for his ownership to fade was likely not an option for the impulsive woman. He heard steps, dozens of people walking through the corridor, led by himself and Lilith. Zair was there too, looking his way with a frightful expression. That rat. I knew it. Mauro wasnt too surprised or annoyed about it. If cooperation had secured his life he would have sold out his own mother. His crimes were too severe however, the evidence damning. No reasonable guard would let him loose, nor was there much leverage he had with the city. Nolan perhaps could convince Alistair but himself, not likely. They were walking up now, to the exit that led into the warehouse. Shes taking us out first. He was getting a little nervous but stayed focused. Every word he now uttered, every action could be fatal. Lilith stepped up to the exit, a closed off section of wall. Some of her ashen limbs moved and cracked through the stone as if it was paper. A couple strikes later and the passage was open. Where are the guards? She asked, looking at the empty table. Those fucking lazy bastards. Maybe they heard it an ambush? No, unlikely. If anything, they fled already. Come on. Careful with the barrels, theres poison and acid inside. Lilith said and looked at him. Dont do something stupid now, or youre dead. Dont worry, healer girl. Im not about to risk my life. Mauro thought.
