Echo vanished silently, leaving behind a calm so profound that reality itself seemed reluctant to stir.

A gentle breeze finally rustled through the restored Prime Realm, brushing softly across Orion’s peaceful body resting securely in Fiora’s trembling arms.
Eldric’s brows furrowed sharply, an unsettling sensation spreading through his consciousness, telling him that something significant had occurred—yet the memory lay just beyond his reach, like smoke slipping through his fingers.
His piercing gaze darted around the clearing, scanning meticulously for any anomaly, yet nothing seemed out of place.
The trees stood firm, moonlight cast a gentle, silvery glow upon the serene battlefield, and Orion remained undisturbed in his deep slumber. But still, a nagging instinct persisted.
Eldric’s contemplation was abruptly interrupted by two distinct, yet faint presences—familiar, sinister, emanating confusion and desperation from the forest depths. His sharp eyes narrowed instantly as recognition surged through him.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Eldric transformed into a bolt of searing lightning, crackling through the air in a brilliant flash. The ground beneath him exploded gently, dust swirling upward as he vanished with startling speed.
Deep within the forest, amidst shattered trees and scorched earth, the leader and vice leader of the kidnappers stood bewildered, their faces etched with disbelief and confusion.
Their memories twisted painfully—one moment consumed by Selene’s merciless flames, their very essence being incinerated, and the next moment... standing here, whole and unharmed, yet clearly disoriented.
The leader’s eyes widened sharply, fear and confusion merging into immediate urgency. He turned frantically to his vice leader, voice trembling with desperation.
"We—we need to run, now!" he hissed sharply, his eyes darting around in growing panic.
But before they could move even a single step, a searing bolt of lightning crashed violently into the earth before them, illuminating the forest in blinding white light.
Eldric’s towering body emerged calmly from within the dissipating lightning, his presence radiating quiet, terrifying dominance.
Instantly, an overwhelming, suffocating aura exploded outward from Eldric, pressing mercilessly upon the kidnappers.
Their knees buckled beneath the crushing force, sending them crashing painfully to the ground. Both men struggled helplessly, their bodies trembling violently as their faces pressed harshly into the dirt, forced downward by an invisible, irresistible force.
Eldric stepped forward slowly, deliberately, each calm footstep resonating loudly through the oppressive silence.
His very presence intensified with every step he took, further amplifying the pressure grinding them into the earth. Bones creaked painfully, breaths wheezed weakly, and the forest itself seemed to recoil fearfully from Eldric’s silent wrath.
He halted mere inches from them, looking down with cold, impassive eyes, his voice deep, calm, yet carrying an undeniable threat. "Speak," Eldric commanded quietly, his voice resonating with chilling authority. "Who sent you?"
The leader and vice leader exchanged terrified glances, eyes wide with dread, yet neither dared utter a word. Their silence, however, only served to deepen Eldric’s simmering fury.
He stepped calmly toward the trembling vice leader, eyes unflinching, and delivered a precise, brutal kick into the man’s ribs.
