Mark turned toward his subordinates.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon," he said. "And if I'm not… you all know what to do."
"Of course," they all replied at the same time.
After that Mark stepped out through the room's door and began walking down the castle corridor as his footsteps echoed softly against the floor.
'Good… everything is going according to plan,' Mark thought, watching the backs of the elves walking ahead of him.
"Yuki," Mark spoke through the mental link.
"I'm here, Master," she responded instantly.
Yuki was right beside him, walking with him, invisible to everyone.
"You know what you have to do, right?"
"Of course," she replied with confidence. "I'll return to your side as soon as I finish locating all the targets."
"Good, go."
And with that, Yuki's presence vanished from his side in an instant.
'Ok… now I just have to do my part of the plan,' Mark thought, refocusing his attention on the elves walking ahead of him.
