As the night settled over our camp, we gathered around a small fire, the crackling flames casting flickering shadows on our determined faces. The weight of the mission hung heavily in the air, but we were resolute, fueled by a shared purpose."I've been studying the guard patrols," Thomas began, his voice steady and low.
