(POV: Akashic Records)
In the courtyard of the White Palace, bathed in the golden rays of the setting sun, Rivka and her faction of knights stood resolute, their white dragons poised for departure. The gentle breeze swept through the air, causing their armor to shimmer.
Aurelia, the not-so-benevolent Empress of the Aurelian Empire, approached Rivka. Her amethyst eyes sparkled as she clasped Rivka's hand.
"Rivka, I'm putting my trust in you," she declared, "don't fail me."
Rivka, the esteemed knight and commander, bowed deeply, her blue eyes a true reflection of loyalty.
"Empress Aurelia, I shall deliver on your trust," she vowed.
Aurelia's smile widened. "In case you need additional support. I've made arrangements," she revealed.
"Is it Miriam?" Rivka ventured to guess.
As stiff as Rivka was, the only person she could relate well with other than Empress Aurelia was— Miriam the Seeress (the 2nd commandmentʼs protector).
