Lucio inhaled sharply--his dominance challenged--but now, his certainty pressed forward again. He stood--not defeated, but awakened, his breath controlled, his stance solid. And then he spoke.
Lucio:
(Rare resolution)
"...You win, Void ling."
No hesitation--no defiance--just acceptance of what had unfolded. Not surrender--but acknowledgement, recognition of a force beyond his own.
Void ling:
(Defining and composure)
"....You understand now. Don't you? That my power and your power is different."
Lucia:
(Rare sorrow)
"...Brother, you were supposed to be unbeatable."
Seraphina Nyx:
(Soft and rare clarity)
"...Strength is not just power. It is knowing when to accept the truth."
The battle had concluded--the clash had been witnessed. His subordinates stood behind him-- watching, waiting, knowing that their leader had reached his decision.
Lucio:
(Smiled at void ling)
"...You are one powerful being, with the level of that power you wield, you are capable of becoming the Emperor of this entire Kingdom and entire Astral Universe one day. We shall take our leave Void ling, until then."
Void ling:
(Smirked at lucio)
"...Becoming an Emperor in entire Astral Universe? Never thought of that."
Lucio turned--his movements effortless, his certainty absolute. Liam, Aiden, Lars, and Lucia followed without question--acknowledging, yet carrying own uncertainty. A final glance--nothing spoken, just presence. And then--they vanished. Their presence removed, their departure finalized.
Void ling:
(Rare composure)
"...I always expect inevitability."
Seraphina Nyx:
(Rare clarity)
"...Lucio wasn't just fighting for dominance. He was proving something--to himself."
The air shimmered--the space bending effortlessly as Void ling, Seraphina, and Blaze Vanished from the battlefield. The energy surrounding them pulsed--their presence shifting instantly. And then--without delay they arrived at the Crimson Kingdom.
Ryder:
(Low and certainty)
"...Hey Void ling, Welcome back, where were you guys anyway?"
Ryuu:
(Low and defining)
"...I assume things did not unfold quietly."
Void ling:
(Soft and rare acknowledgment)
"...We went to the beach and came across the Hexagram Apex people."
Glacior inhaled sharply--his presence shifting, his certainty pressing forward. And then--he spoke, his voice edged with rare disbelief.
Glacior:
(Rare astonishment)
"...Wait--you ran into King Lucio subordinates?"
Takashi:
(Rare intrigue)
"...And you're standing here without a scratch?"
Not just shock--but observation, recognition of the implications of such a meeting. Kai exhaled Sharply--his certainty pressing forward, his gaze locked onto Void ling.
Kai:
(Low and awareness)
"...This is unreal."
Blaze Vortex:
(Smirked)
"...Yeah, let's just say things got intense."
The Crimson Kingdom stood silsnt--anticipation pressing forward, every gaze locked onto him. Everybody remained still waiting, expect for Seraphina and Blaze, since they already know. Void ling spoke.
Void ling:
(Rare explanation)
"...We encountered Hexagram Apex, and things escalated beyond expectation. Lucio and his subordinates wanted to fight us. And so, a battle unfolded.
Ryder:
(Curious)
"...Let me get this straight, you fought the leader of the Hexagram Apex. Void you know you can't be doing this in the kingdom. Fighting among each other."
Void ling:
(Eyes closed and smiled)
"...Well.. he started the fight, and it didn't end well for him. How am I the victim."
Kai:
(Rare acknowledgment)
"...Well, that's beyond what I expected."
Celestina:
(Rare clarity)
"...Well, that's understandable."
Then--their presence shifted. The group moved--they stepped outside. And then--something caught their attention instantly. An elf stood before the gathered crowd--his presence sharp, his posture carrying unmistakable dominance. The crowd trembled--uncertainty pressing through.
Ryder narrowed his gaze--his presence sharpening effortlessly. Void ling exhaled slightly--his stance shifting--but then, Ryder raised a hand, stopping him instantly. And he stepped forward without hesitation. The elf turned slightly--his gaze locking onto Ryder, His expression pressing forward with pure dismissal.
Elf:
(Rare provocation)
"...Hehe... Goodbye."
The air grew tense--the elf laughter sharp,laced with unmistakable amusement. Then--without hesitation, without warning--he vanished into thin air, his presence dissolving instantly. Something about that elf felt wrong--not just power, but dominance
Void ling:
(Rare inquiry)
"...Who was that elf?"
Ryder:
(Rare revelation)
"...That elf belongs to the legion Sentinels. They are warriors of elf's who can defeat foes with a mere strike. Some even possess powerful abilities."
Ryuu:
(Rare connection and low)
"...Void ling, you know Liam from Hexagram Apex right?"
Void ling:
(Eye browses raised)
"...What about it?"
Ryuu smirked slightly--his presence pressing forward effortlessly. And then--he finalized the revelation completely.
Ryuu:
(Rare exposure)
"...Liam is from that group."
Blaze Vortex:
(Low and defining)
"...Then how is she in this kingdom?"
Kaia inhaled slightly, her expression shifting effortlessly. And then she spoke, her voice edged with rare knowledge. Because now, the mystery deepened, and the truth of Liam stood ready to be revealed.
Kaia:
(Low and awareness)
"...Long ago, a group of elves arrived in this kingdom. They were not ordinary travelers--they carried mastery, presence, and authority that few could comprehend. These elves were part of an ancient faction, one that existed beyond mere conflict. They did not fight wars--they ended them. Versira Nethrion is the group leader. And she is Liam sister."
Void ling:
(Rare realization)
"...A single appearance, yet the weight of it's meaning is undeniable."
Ryder:
(Calm and urgency)
"...Once we see that there is one elf here, it demonstrates only one thing--war is coming."
Not speculation--just truth, just pure expectations. The Crimson Kingdom knew what this meant--what legion Sentinels could bring. And Ryder continued.
Ryder:
(Rare knowledge)
"...The Empresss should already be aware by now. The kingdom knows an elf has appeared--and that elf has disappeared just as quickly."
Blaze Vortex:
(Rare contemplation)
"...Then we don't just wait for them to act. We prepare."

Versira Nethrion sat at the very heart of Dominion--her posture sharp, her mastery absolute. Beside her, two figures stood--two presence that carried supremacy beyond measure. And before them--the elf who had vanished from the kingdom knelt Low, and unsteady.
Nalira Ria:
(Low and realization)
"....My Queen, it appears---"
Lysandra Moon:
(Low and insulting)
"...You tremble before even finishing your sentence? How pathetic you are Nalira Ria."
Miraleth Kurenai:
(Observation and calm)
"...If you returned quickly, thaf means something unfolded beyond expectation."
The elf trembled, her breath uneven--fear pressing forward beyond restraint. Versira Nethrion had yet to speak--but her presence alone carried dominance beyond mere authority. The elf forced herself, knowing silence would not save her. The Queen awaited an answer.
Nalira Ria:
(Soft and awareness)
...My Queen, it appears The Commander and King of Crimson Slayers king Ryder approached me--bu....t..ttt"
Versira Nethrion:
(Low and defining)
"...You dare tremble before me? You pathetic creature, you are legion Sentinels, not a sniveling coward."
The Tension thickened--the silence pressed forward-until something unexpected occurred. A figure appeared--a presence undeniable, a force that could not be ignored. A figure appeared, a force that could be ignored. And Zen Shingestu stood before them.
Zen Shingestu:
(Smirked and looked at Versira)
"...Now, now, That's not how to speak to our servant, don't you think, Versira?"
Miraleth Kurenai:
(Low and Rare disdain)
"...You bastard, Zen! What are you doing here?"
Zen chuckled slightly--his smirked widened, his presence pressing forward effortlessly. And then he spoke.
Zen Shingestu:

His words pressed forward effortlessly, carrying undeniable provocation. And then he left. His smirked remained--even as he disappeared--his presence baffled beyond words.
Lysandra Moon:
(Rare rage)
"...That arrogance bastard! I promise you, I will tear him into piece, He make me sick."
Versira Nethrion:
(Rare declaration and awareness)
"...We are going to invade all the kingdoms and kill everyone. We will move to the Dynasty Kingdom first. That where the 4 Empresss lies, kill them, and the rest are trash and easy."
