In the Sanctuary of Light, Lyrus convened a meeting with his dragon-Guardians, Generals, and advisors. Lucidus presented intelligence gathered from the empire's network of spies. "Master, the Aurion Dominion, Frostveil Concord, and Aetherion Ascendancy are watching us closely. Their intentions remain unclear, but their movements suggest caution and preparation."
Lyrus, seated on his throne, exuded calm authority. "They fear what they do not understand. Amber Heavens is a force of unity and justice, but to them, it represents a challenge to their power."
Eydon, the Flame Dragon, spoke confidently. "If they seek to test us, we will show them why the World Event could not break us."
Lucidus added, "Master, their interest is both a threat and an opportunity. With patience, we can turn their fear into respect—or their hesitation into their downfall."
Lyrus nodded. "Let them watch. Amber Heavens will not falter. If they come as allies, we will welcome them. If they come as enemies, they will witness the strength of our unity."
As the three empires schemed, Amber Heavens stood resolute. Its roots ran deep, its people thrived, and its leaders prepared for the inevitable challenges ahead. The stage was set for a clash of ambitions, with Amber Heavens ready to defend its destiny.
