"To safety?"
Princess Ceni peered out of the window towards the sky which was now swarming with numerous flying objects while hundreds more fell to the ground.
The crack was now at least a few kilometers wide, just enough to reveal a large portion of the creature that was trying to breakthrough. It had a long cylindrical head with two sets of U-shaped horns on the side.
It had no eyes but instead, the entire lower portion of the face was a roaring toothy maw that had a humanoid face inside. Its body was an ashen black and looking in its direction for even a few seconds left Princess Ceni in blinding pain.
She quickly closed her eyes, falling into a brief period of contemplation.
'It looks like this is indeed the Luna Empire, and on the night of the siege to boot. These people probably don't think this is a big deal but no one makes it out of the city, not a single soul. I must find Hao Xuan quickly before it's too late. If I am here then he can't be too far away either.'
