All was quiet in the Ishtar Sink. Not even the common Vex units were active. Some were taking this moment of peace to prepare for the next battle, like the Eliksni warriors nested deep inside an ancient ruin. Others were using the peace as cover for their own purposes, like the nimble Guardian slipping past the Eliksni defense in the ruins.

Everything had gone smooth so far. The Vandal guards hadn't noticed the unnatural shadow brushing past them. No one would miss a single Dreg lost in the ruins. A few Shanks disabled by falling debris was not a matter of importance. Under his helmet, Fenrir smirked. They didn't even know, didn't understand that he was there, and by the time they had realised, it would be far too late. Effortlessly and completely silent, Void Edge was unsheathed.

The first Captain was decapitated within moments of Fenrir dropping down to the floor. The second lost one of his arms before being impaled through his stomach. The last attempted to fire his Wire Rifle, and saw the gun be cleaved in half by Void Edge, and then he saw the blade speeding towards his head. The fight was over in a few seconds. Now, the Baron was to be dealt with.

There was no question about it. The Baron knew Fenrir was coming, despite the Hunter's best attempts to remain silent. Yet still, the Baron hadn't called for his entire warband, as a threatened Eliksni noble usually did. Perhaps they still retain some of that ancient honour, Fenrir thought as he kicked down the door blocking his way to the Baron's command room.

The command room was empty. It was trap, and Fenrir knew it. But just for a moment, one single moment, he let his guard down. Then, the Baron made his move. He lunged at the Hunter from a shadowed corner, and as Fenrir parried the blow he cursed himself for not seeing it coming. The Eliksni jumped backwards in response of the parry, and brought his Shock Blades up into a protective stance. Fenrir launched an attack. As expected, it was parried and met with a counterattack. The Hunter dove out of the way. Infuriated, the Baron attacked again. Fenrir put his blade in a direct block and took the blow head on. With the blades locked together, the Hunter wrenched his sword upwards, breaking one of the Shock Blades away from the Baron. A swipe downwards followed this move, and the Baron kneeled and clutched his chest in pain. Fenrir brought Void Edge up into the air for a finishing blow, and soon the Fallen noble's other blade clattered to the ground, four lifeless eyes staring into the dirt. Fenrir put his sword away and vanished into the air, his work done.
