Athena's POV
The moment Luke replied to my message, it was as if a single ray of sunlight had pierced through the unrelenting gloom that had enveloped us.
In the suffocating darkness of our besieged sanctuary, that small glimmer of hope felt like a lifeline.
Luke, with his unwavering resolve and innate ability to see through the chaos, had always been someone who could carve a path where none seemed to exist.
Even with the world crumbling around us, I knew if anyone could navigate the apocalypse, it was him.
Our conversation, though brief, was a balm to the frayed edges of my spirit.
When he told me about his planned rescue mission, my heart leaped with a mixture of joy and trepidation.
The thought of seeing Luke again, of being pulled away from the precipice on which we teetered, was exhilarating.
