In front of the massive, platinum-colored portal, several figures stood, their silhouettes bathed in the eerie light emanating from the swirling gateway.
Among them, three figures stood out from the rest—two people clad in red armor, the unmistakable symbol of a dragon emblazoned on their chests, and a man draped in a crimson cloak. The strange symbol embroidered on his forehead flickered with an unnatural glow, his eyes dull yet ghastly, as if staring into the void itself.
The man in the cloak stepped forward, his posture graceful yet ominous. "Thank you for completing the unity mission with such great success," he said, his voice smooth and gentlemanly, belying the danger that clung to his very presence.
The man and woman in red armor exchanged a glance, then smiled. "Thank you for your praise, De-Solar Artisan," they replied in unison, bowing their heads slightly to show their respect.
