"What do you mean?" I asked, narrowing my eyes slightly as I tried to understand what she was sensing.
"I mean that it feels like a foreign entity entering my private space," she said slowly, her gaze still fixed upward as if she could see far beyond the sky itself. "My instinct is telling me to eliminate it… but at the same time, something else is warning me that it's dangerous."
I let out a small chuckle, shaking my head lightly. "That part is true. It is foreign… but let's not go against it. Not yet."
She glanced at me, studying my face for a moment before nodding. "If you say so."
Then her expression shifted again, a hint of excitement returning.
"Come," she said, extending her hand toward me. "I'll show you something."
I didn't hesitate. The moment I took her hand, space folded around us.
In the next instant, the garden, the capital, even Vaythos itself disappeared, replaced by the vast openness of the void.
