Lloyd stood on the platform of the teleporter and looked forward.
Determination could be seen on his face; he didn't really understand what was coming next after all, but he still knew he would get through it alive. He's gotten through everything so far... He lost too many people to die an impactful death.
He had to make sure that he would eventually return to his family. That he could protect them when the time was right.
He knew something was coming, and while he didn't know what it was, he knew that its very presence would change the universe.
That's when a set of words he had heard before echoed in his mind.
"The stars are going out... Silence will fall." Lloyd narrowed his eyes, taking a final glance at his family before the teleportation device sucked him out of the room and threw him into a dimensional tunnel.
A sense of euphoria washed over Lloyd the moment he entered the tunnel. It felt like he was at home, but he knew that wasn't the case.
