[A Brief Moment Earlier]
~Ciara… can you hear me?~
Ciara and her friends powerlessly lay on the ground, all of them rendered immobile by a mere sleight of Legris' hand.
In the face of such a powerful adversary, they stood no chance.
'H-how can I still hear your thoughts? Legris said he eliminated you.' Ciara's thoughts trailed.
Her mind was a mess, same as her body, but she struggled to maintain her connection with the voice in her head.
The voice of her Constellation.
"Legris knows a lot, but he does not know everything. Constellations can not die as long as their Tree exist. What he destroyed were our physical embodiments… our avatars."
As long as an Aether Tree remained, the Constellations could not perish.
'T-then you can return to stop him… right?!' Ciara's thoughts beamed.
