As they descended toward the planet's surface, the sky shifted from a deep blue to a vibrant orange. The ship passed through a thin layer of clouds, revealing a breathtaking view of the planet's landscape. Mountains towered over lush forests, and endless fields of wildflowers stretched as far as the eye could see. The air was sweet with the scent of blooming flowers, and the sound of chirping birds filled their ears. As they landed in the field of wildflowers, they could feel the soft petals brushing against their feet, and a gentle breeze carried the fragrance of the flowers toward them. The atmosphere was serene and peaceful.
As Aurea scanned the crowd, Her eyes locked onto Leo's towering frame. Despite the sea of people around him, he stood out like a beacon of trouble. With a single glance, she was able to make him quiver and her eyes had the power to melt metal. "You said you'd come to find me," she seethed in anger, "but look at me, tracking you down. What are you doing here? I thought you were going to stay and aid my people."Leo was taken aback as he gazed at her - "How did you manage to find us so quickly?” Aurea couldn't hide the pride in her voice as she spoke about the AI tracking system she had installed on the ship. “We had to leave Suevin as it wasn't livable anymore. It is with a heavy heart that I was not able to safeguard our home; Please find it in you to forgive me.” Leo said with great sorrow
With a faint smile, Aurea said, "If the people are ready to accept it, I will grant you forgiveness." Her smile quickly vanished and her face turned expressionless. “did you manage to find my siblings?” Leo said with a serious expression and started walking, "Yes, we have their location." As Leo and Aurea were walking, a voice stopped them in their tracks. James was puzzled and inquired, "Hello, could someone kindly explain to me what is happening?" Leo, this is James. He followed me here and I warned him about the danger, but he didn't listen. I had been living with his family until I find you.” she turned her focus to James "I think it's time for you to know the full story. How about we go somewhere to talk?" Leo brought James to one of their headquarters, where Aurea shared all the details about her kidnapping and the war with him.
Aurea's heart raced as she asked Leo about her siblings. But what he told her stopped her in her tracks. "They're with the same people who kidnapped you," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Dread and fear instantly filled her as her eyes widened. She could only imagine how they were being treated, and the thought of it was enough to send shivers down her spine. Leo's words confirmed her worst fears: her siblings were likely enduring the same torture and terror she had experienced. The gravity of the situation hit her hard, and she felt a wave of helplessness wash over her.
