*Kryzen*
Celestial City had been eerily peaceful the past few days, which did nothing but make me irritable. It felt like it was toying with us in a way, just like right before the shadow creatures appeared at the ball. One moment, there was laughter and good cheer, and the next, we were riddled with fear and horror.
The reason for the peace was that Alpha Ray had done as he planned and had sorcerers and other highly skilled magic wielders stationed all over the city. It brought some comfort to the citizens of Celestial City but not to Briella, Roy, and me.
If the sorcerers and elders were so powerful, there wouldn't be this essence of dark energy still haunting the city. This time of peace just felt temporary, like the calm before the storm.
It would have been easy to call the battle
