The room was drowning in silence after Victoria's story, heavy with the weight of what she had revealed. Everyone exchanged hesitant glances, unsure of what to say.
Zara was the first to break the silence. She folded her arms, her voice soft and incredulous.
"I can't believe you had such a bond with two living legends. Tamara and Kallistra…" Her words trailed off as she shook her head. "It's… hard to imagine them like that. You really come from very far."
Victoria leaned back, a wistful expression softening her face.
"They weren't legends back then. We were just three friends chasing dreams. We were young and full of hope. But power… it really changes people."
Her eyes shifted to Eratz, studying him with intensity.
"You're a genius, Eratz," she said. "Exactly like Tamara. But younger. It's too early for you."
Eratz frowned slightly, but Victoria continued.
