Internal Struggles

Sylas looked to the skies, his expression calm.

For some reason, he felt a great deal of pressure when he met Aurion's gaze, but that didn't cause him to falter. Instead, he calmly looked to the side where he found Brisa, who still seemed to be steaming from how things ended.

Not only had she lost two valuable items, but she hadn't even been able to make it to the end. However, she also didn't dare to blame Sylas for it either.

For her to lose on time was something that she still couldn't wrap her head around. Just how strong did Sylas have to be to accomplish such a thing? Had they let him win?

No, that was impossible as well. Even if they came from the same world, the chains of the system affected them all equally.

Of course, they had yet to confirm that Sylas was from Earth. As of now, they were still in the dark about exactly which of the Summoned Worlds he came from. So Brisa felt that this was actually even less likely.
