The bustling city street stretched out before me, a chaotic symphony of honking horns, hurried footsteps, and the occasional street vendor's cry. The city was alive with its own rhythm, each person weaving through the urban tapestry with a purpose. I found myself in the midst of it all, navigating the sidewalk on my way to the bus station.
The day had been like any other, ordinary and uneventful, until the familiar vibration of my phone interrupted the urban symphony. I fished it out of my pocket, glancing at the screen to find the caller's name: Alpha Orion. The name sent a shiver down my spine, a mix of excitement and trepidation.
