Meanwhile, back in the Pyra Empire, the entire kingdom was on high alert. People stormed through the streets, their eyes scanning every shadow, every corner, searching desperately for someone important... No one slept that night—the Empire echoed with fury and tension!
Amidst the chaos, a hooded figure—Sandra—moved swiftly across the rooftops, her steps silent as a whisper. Draped over her shoulder like a sack of stolen goods was Raven, her unconscious form swaying with each movement.... or she tried to act like one!
"What's the point of doing this?" Raven suddenly asked while swaying.
Sandra's grip on her tightened slightly, but she said nothing.
Since Aether never explained anything, Raven could only guess.
Still, that didn't stop her.
"Why are you doing this? You know your Empire is at risk, right?"
"What's the endgame here?"
"Are you seriously going to throw everything away for this?"
