The Ark cruised quietly through the dark expanse of space, the hum of its engines a steady reminder that, for now, they were safe. Inside the command center, Ethan sat at the helm, reviewing the latest reports on the screen in front of him. They had barely escaped Lilith Nyx's attack, and the weight of her presence still lingered in the air. She had been powerful, far too powerful for them to face head-on, and it left an unsettling feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Prella, standing silently beside him, looked deep in thought. Her connection to the Ether had grown stronger after their last encounter, and she could sense that Lilith Nyx wasn't just an ordinary Empiral Knight , there was something far more dangerous about her. "She's going to come after us again," Prella finally said, her tone soft but certain.
Ethan sighed, rubbing his temples. "I know. We're not ready for someone like her. We need to get stronger... all of us."
