Aurora and Ember's expressions sharpened. Both turned to Anastasia, waiting for answers.
The Atticus they'd left behind was still recovering… yet now a massive purple dome covered the entire domain, and tremors had rocked the ground beneath their feet on the way here.
Anastasia's face turned somber, and Lyanna, Sirius, and Nathan all went still, their expressions darkening.
"H-he—"
"He joined the battle." Sirius was the one who answered. His voice was low, and his fists clenched.
None of them liked it. The battles above were in a realm of power they couldn't even approach. Even if they wanted to help, they'd only get in the way.
Above them, the roars of combat between Alliance paragons and Zorvan colonels shook the sky.
The only reason they weren't all dead was because of the massive purple dome shielding them. Without it, even grandmasters would've been shredded by the shockwaves alone.
