Titan sat alone in his quarters, the faint glow of distant stars casting shadows on the walls. Memories of Commander Aric stirred within him—lessons learned, promises made.
Aric's voice echoed softly in his mind: "Power without purpose is a path to destruction. Never lose sight of why you fight."
They had trained together, fought side by side in early conflicts. Aric had believed in Titan's potential—not just as a warrior, but as a leader.
But when the Council's corruption became undeniable, Aric stayed behind, trying to change things from within.
Titan had begged him to leave. "You're risking everything."
Aric had only smiled sadly. "Sometimes, sacrifice is necessary to save the many."
That choice haunted Titan—the man who stayed, the man who fell.
Now, Titan fought not just against the Council or the Voidborn, but to honor Aric's sacrifice and the ideals he'd instilled.
