The nether.

Quiet. Dangerous.

The shadow moving through it in front of a long line of soldiers blends in perfectly.

[Here sir?]

John Preston nods before stepping in front of a doorway and glancing backwards to Partridge.

Nothing. No fear, no emotion-

The door is brought down with a swift kick, and Preston moves foward, guns in hand-ready for anything-

Except for the sucking and swirling pain that hits him like a blow to the chest. Who shot me?

Clerics don't get shot. That's a physical impossibility. He was the best.

That thought is small comfort as he blacks out-trying to make sense of the swirling vortex his world has become.

It's a few moments before he awakes, his body on soft earth. That doesn't make any sense, Partridge should have called an EMT team, they should have wiped the floor with them, then-

Preston gets to his feet in a swift motion and unsheathes his weapons.

This is not the building he was in before.

But it could still be the nether. The buildings look reasonably the same. Was he captured? taken to the outskirts?

Libria is not visible.

There should be emotion, but there's nothing as Preston raises his weapons to a defensive position and begins walking.
