[Ice General Skye]

"Is that Crux!?" Calvin asked in astonishment, looking at the proud Pantheran wearing a cute green frog hoodie that hid her ears and tail. It was unthinkable.

"Your eyes do not betray you." Kaze replied calmly, "That is indeed Crux Panthera Pyron, Princess of the Panthera and loyalist to her people. However, if you look slightly below her you will see another mortal that leads her."

The mind-bending thought of [two] mortals obtaining Crux's loyalty twisted their perception of reality.

"Only to solidify—are you truly mortals leading yourselves?" Calvin asked in disbelief, "Not enemies of Killian?"

"While we will pursue retribution for what Killian has done, you are correct—we are mortals leading ourselves." The emperor replied solemnly, "See the power of Evalyn Skye yourself; it should answer all questions you seek."

Amy and the elderly specialist watched Crux fly Evalyn over the raging fire, glowing in shades as it burned through mountains of corpses.
