Chronos reclined on his throne in the Parliament Chamber.
Beside him, Miko, his radiant secretary, read out the latest updates on the emerging Tertiun Empire.
As her voice echoed through the cavernous chamber, her words became an indistinguishable drone as the worries of leadership churned within him.
Suddenly, an effervescent burst of deep purple dimensional energy enlivened the chamber's atmosphere.
From the mist emerged Grandmama Tai Sui, her ageless eyes radiating warmth as she glanced at Chronos.
"Baby boy, you've been working too hard," she complained, placing a comforting hand on his arm. "You need to take a break."
"Wait.. I…"
Before Chronos could respond, the same purple mist enveloped them.
A split second later, they were gone, leaving a stunned Miko alone in the chamber.
Instantaneously, they reappeared inside a sprawling laboratory buzzing with activity.
