Aksai landed gracefully in front of Nuya's palace, his Lian Flying Sword disappearing with a shimmer.
As he approached the entrance, two of Nuya's maids bowed deeply and welcomed him inside.
"Welcome, Lord Aksai," one of them said, her voice respectful. "Lady Nuya is expecting you. Please, follow us."
Aksai nodded, his expression calm, and followed the maids through the beautifully adorned corridors.
They led him to a spacious hall where a group of Spirit cultivators had gathered. The atmosphere was heavy with tension, and the expressions on their faces ranged from solemn to outright grim.
Dia Naya and Nimiya Jaram, co-owners of the Emerald Cove island, were among those present. They stood near Nuya, who sat at the head of the hall, her demeanor as poised as ever.
As soon as Aksai entered, the mid and late-stage Spirit Refiners stood and paid their respects.
"Island Owner Aksai," they murmured, bowing their heads in unison.
When you change your thoughts, remember to also change your world.
