Sector 93 — 20 Minutes Later
The sky above the ruined landscape was now a deep crimson. Smoke curled through the air, carried by heavy winds that howled like ghosts. What was once a quiet forest zone had turned into a dead zone—ash, broken trees, and cracked ground.
Selene arrived first.
She dropped from the sky like a comet, her boots crushing into the soil with a small shockwave. Her coat fluttered behind her as she stood tall, her eyes glowing faintly. Around her, the wind stopped moving. Even the shadows seemed to freeze.
She stared at the twisted gate in the distance. At the center of it… stood Rav'kan.
He saw her. And smiled.
"I was expecting someone stronger," Rav'kan said, his voice deep and mocking. "But… you'll do for warmup."
Selene didn't answer. She just adjusted her gloves, her face calm.
Then a gust of wind roared behind her.
Raina and Kael landed.
