In the heart of the Temple of Seals, Vaelithra, Sylvara, and Elara had stumbled upon its main chamber, a vast hall dominated by a throne at the far end. Their entry had not gone unnoticed. A tall, imposing figure, eyes glowing an eerie white, confronted them.
"You there," the being's voice resonated through the chamber, filled with both authority and anger. "I felt your presence ever since you landed on my planet. How dare you come to this place with such a sick idea."
Sylvara and Elara, ready for confrontation, wasted no time. They rushed forward, their energies surging as they prepared to attack. But before they could reach their target, a tremendous blow sent them hurtling into the chamber's walls. Elara groaned in pain, while Sylvara gritted her teeth.
"Good shot," Elara grumbled, her frustration evident.
Sylvara, her anger ignited, summoned a formidable ki blast, channeling her energy into it until it crackled with power. With a fierce expression, she hurled it towards the imposing figure on the throne.
However, the being on the throne was no ordinary adversary. He effortlessly caught the ki blast, his grip firm as he crushed the energy within his grasp. The force of his power was undeniable, and it left Sylvara and Elara momentarily stunned.
Meanwhile, high above the desolate landscape of Kurayami, Selena, Seraphine, and Kai were returning to the 57th Galactic Patrol Training Facility aboard their spaceship. The journey had been uneventful until their radio suddenly crackled to life, filling the cockpit with a sense of urgency.
"Officer Selena, are you there?" the voice on the radio inquired urgently.
Selena swiftly responded, "This is Officer Selena. What's the situation?"
The radio voice wasted no time in conveying critical information. "There is a sudden presence of the Shadow Cult on planet Kurayami. Immediate investigation is required. You are the closest Galactic Patrol officers to the planet Kurayami. Proceed there and investigate."
Selena acknowledged the orders with a terse, "Yes."
As the radio transmission ended, Seraphine and Kai exchanged glances filled with both anticipation and determination. This was it—their first mission as official Galactic Patrol officers.
Selena, her expression a mix of concern and readiness, turned to her young recruits. "Are you two ready for your first mission?"
Seraphine and Kai nodded in unison. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on them, but they were determined to prove themselves as members of the Galactic Patrol.
The spaceship changed course, its destination set for Kurayami, where shadows and mysteries awaited them. Seraphine and Kai knew that this mission was just the beginning of their journey to protect the universe from the looming darkness of the Shadow Cult.
