Xu Kai stood silently beside Liora, his posture calm, but inside, everything had begun to shift. It happened the moment their eyes met. Just a glance—and the ground beneath his certainty started to crack.
His gaze drifted to the man standing just behind her. Tall, quiet, with striking white hair and sharp, glacial-blue eyes that shimmered with a glow Xu Kai could never forget. That glow—it was the mark of a bloodline few had ever seen.
The Aelaryn Clan. A clan known for their powerful aura, their haven defying unique abilities, and their complete isolation from the rest of the galaxy.
And that man… he wasn't just any member. Xu Kai was sure of it.
That was Atlas—the rumored heir of the Aelaryn line. Xu Kai had never seen him before, but stories had reached even the farthest corners of the universe. The resemblance was too sharp to dismiss. Yet here he was—on a forgotten planet, standing beside Liora, behaving like they have none each other for ages.
