Deep in the subterranean depths of the Snezhnaya Capital, a figure bearing the codename "Raven" pressed flat against the cold, damp pipeline wall, silent and motionless as a true creature of the night. Exactly eleven hours after the countdown began, he materialized precisely within the shadows of a calculated blind spot outside the Serenitea Pot delegation's safe house. Almost simultaneously, the Traveler Lumine emerged quietly from the building, as if she had sensed his arrival all along.
"The Cryo Archon will be assassinated within the hour," Raven said in an intensely muffled voice, every word falling like an ice pick chipping into frozen soil. "Masterminds: Pierro and Dottore. The evidence is irrefutable. Drastic changes are coming, and your delegation is likely to become a target. Prepare to respond immediately!"
The intelligence was delivered like a venomous dagger. Without a moment's pause, Raven's figure retreated instantly, blending into the deeper darkness and vanishing without a trace. Lumine felt a chill shoot straight from her fingertips to the top of her head. She whirled around and dashed back into the safe house.
