—August 14th, 2032 | Immortal Skye—
Before dawn on August 14th, 2032, almost four thousand individuals assembled at the southside entrance of Immortal Skye. Military vehicles brimming with supplies stood ready to transport them to the Lainwright Military Base, their exhaust pipes releasing steam plumes.
Darkness still enveloped the area, and the air was crisp, yet sleep eluded everyone present. Some struggled to contain their emotions, their veins coursing with hatred for the Lainwright soldiers. For others, anxiety pierced their hearts as they anticipated seeing their families once more.
A whirlwind of change had swept through their lives in the past two months, so they were no longer the same people. It left them with gnawing questions.
Would their loved ones still care for them after learning they had killed cultivators?
Could they find acceptance?
Would their families remain unchanged?
