Some months after the battle...
Nero was walking in a pure white hall with huge pillars raised at each side, adorned with outstanding details made with gold. That place had impressive architecture, remembering palaces of the era pre-Crimson Apocalypse.
It was something nearly inconceivable that something like that palace could exist in Saphyr at that period and due to the circumstances that humanity was living in. There was something really strange about its existence, and even Nero found it outrageous, but he never asked anything about it.
He preferred to believe that the palace was there for a greater sake, for the sake of Nature following its common course and not get interrupted by any mortals.
