From the clearing, Aira stepped forward. Her presence felt completely different now.
Alex raised a brow and smiled like nothing was wrong. "Why are you here?
I thought you were resting."
"Cut the bullshit," she snapped. Her voice was sharp and cold.
"Who are you?"
She took another step. Then another.
The space around them twisted. Reality warped like ripples in a pond.
In the distance, the medic cried out. In front of him, the two Evermore soldiers simply vanished.
His eyes widened in horror. "Basilea is finished.
Th-they had two more. Just like that monster..."
At the same time, Alex found himself standing in a different place.
The floor under his feet was made of shimmering crystal. It was clear like water but completely solid.
Fish swam beneath the surface, throwing moving shadows of light with every turn.
Above him stretched a boundless sky, soft blue with drifting clouds.
Alex let out a low whistle. "Not bad.
Nice view. Let me guess, admin room?"
