Stella patiently narrated what happened after Kyran blacked out while he listened in silence. All the while, his expression was unreadable even when she explained what happened after Obstruction pulled Cyneah into the vortex.
Anette and Malia also listened intently because they were curious about how everything concluded.
They were happy the conflict had ended. However, they wondered why there was no clear winner.
In this battle, the ones at the center had been the Soul Emperor and the Void Master. However, most knew the one behind the latter was the empire's emperor, Euan.
The story went like this; the Soul Emperor used her position as the Crown Princess to mobilize the nobles and the Royal Army, while the Void Master— with the decree given by the emperor— gathered the rest of the empire's factions— Aureole, Conclave, Templar Code, the Regis Clan— to assist him in 'retaking' command of the empire's military.
