The news of Emery being asked to stay back did not sit well with his friends. Thrax protested, "What do they want with you now?" Klea, equally worried, expressed her determination to accompany him. However, their concerns were addressed when a familiar figure approached them. Delbrand, their former headmaster, came forward to ease their anxieties.
"Don't worry; he was being called to debrief only." Delbrand assured them with a steady voice.
With a trusted figure accompanying Emery, a sense of relief washed over the group, and they decided to wait for him back at the Nephilim planet.
Exiting the Nephilim ship, Emery and Delbrand soared into space. As they watched the majestic ship depart, numerous other vessels from various factions also disembarked from the space station. Among the departing vessels, some bore visible scars of the recent space battle—a testament to the trials faced during the celestial expedition.
