Nox looked at Emerald for a moment after she finished speaking about the emperor. He gave one short nod. "Then floor ninety eight first. The lord there is the loudest about the raid. We cut him down before he can call more troops."
Emerald's eyes lit up with that sharp succubus hunger. "Varak. Yes. He talks too much and drinks too much. His tower is the tallest in the central district. Guards everywhere, but they follow orders like machines."
"It is settled then," Nox said. "My dragons will scout ahead. You lead the way in."
Suddenly he paused and asked, "How are you going to take us to floor ninety eight?"
At that, Emerald merely smiled and waved her hand. When she did, a red portal appeared. She took the lead and Nox followed.
They stepped through the purple glow.
Floor ninety eight opened up in front of them. It was not a jagged cavern like the other floors, but streets laid out in straight lines, buildings of dark stone stacked neatly.
