In a dimly lit room on the war-torn Planet, Ashton, Ibis, Anna, and a few Xyrans sat together. The chaos outside had lessened as the Xyrans, Orions, and mercenaries worked tirelessly to clean up the aftermath of the fierce battle.
However, despite the ceasefire, the tension in the room was palpable. Before giving the control back to Ashton, Astaroth had assured him that there wouldn't be any hostility between the earthlings and the Xyrans anymore.
Ashton was sceptical of Astaroth's words but willing to trust him as long as they could stop the war.
"I know you'd have heard everything about me from Astaroth," Ashton started the meeting. "But I would like to clarify one thing before we take this meeting any further.
I do not trust you or your kind, and I'm only willing to talk things because the dumbass inside my head wants me to, and I respect him enough to see this through for once."
