Daneel wondered whether he was in a dream.
With no other avenue left to him, he had prayed to the heavens…but he had never expected that his prayers would be answered. When they had been planning for the war, he and the Emperor had discussed the Chamber, and what it meant. With no information to go on, they had been forced to conclude that it was something they would never be able to understand, but now, the one who had saved the Emperor, himself, had appeared to grace him with a ray of sunlight when all had seemed lost in darkness.
He still found it hard to believe that the man had appeared at such a perfect time. He would even have suspected that there was some underlying plot, but the system had just assured him that he was connected to the lightning that had streaked across the sky to accompany his most recent breakthrough.
Well, the route to WDS 2 is out in the open, now. These chapters were hard af to write, but I'm proud of 'em. Lemme know if you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed planning all this out! One last thing to unveil, then we're off!
(Sorry about the slight delay, next 2 out in 24 hours.)
