Nightfall Retreat - FireHawk Ascendant- part 12

The chill of the pavement signaled it was time to fall back inside. I maneuvered under the iron front gate and crossed the damp gravel path in brisk, calculated strides. Reaching the threshold, I grasped the heavy bristle edge of the doormat and pulled myself up onto the dry coir weave. The gap beneath the front door stood open just enough. Squeezing back under the weatherstrip, I shook the outdoor dust from my boots and stood on the warm hall parquet. The perimeter sweep is concluded; the interior base is secure for the night. #Firehawkascendant #Theguardiansofchaos #KreeCykeProductions #September2026
