Chapter 10: The Galactic War Begins!

Ethan and his crew stood in the heart of the Pleadian Council Chambers, surrounded by the grandeur of ancient stonework and shimmering energy fields that gave the room an ethereal glow. The chamber was circular, with towering pillars of gold and silver reaching toward the domed ceiling. In the center sat the Council of Elders, tall, elegant Pleadians dressed in flowing robes, their eyes glowing with a wisdom that spanned millennia.

Commander Larek stood beside the Council, his presence a reassuring figure for Ethan and his team.

"Welcome, Captain Warren," one of the Elders said, his voice smooth yet commanding. "We have been watching your progress, and now that you are here, we must discuss the matter at hand."

Ethan nodded, his hands resting at his sides as he prepared himself for whatever revelation was coming. He had been in countless situations since being transported into this galaxy, but this felt different. The tension in the room was palpable.
