< Chapter 4 >
My right mechanical eye was worth every penny, enhancing its detection across the visible light spectrum and allowing me to perceive the surrounding objects. The enhanced and corrected view was as clear as daylight.
I saw two Coritans standing on the cliff edge. They wore clothes that billowed in the wind, the loose sleeves and hems fluttering. Their once-white clothing now appeared worn, faded, and nearly gray.
The two Coritans pulled out cigarettes, placing one in their mouths. The lighter’s flame flared brightly before fading away.
I blinked, turning off the glow of my mechanical eye, and raised my hand.
“I’ll take the left; you take the right.”
With a brief hand signal, we divided our roles. Ilay and I would simultaneously strike the outpost from both sides.
*Whoosh!*
I was the first to scale the cliff. I pushed off the ground, hand gripping my sword’s hilt.
