The journey to the Xenithar was a voyage filled with both anticipation and worry. It wasn't Ashton or Astaroth who were worried but the Xyrans on board the ship with them.
The Xyrans were extremely careful around them as they didn't want to offend Ashton and Astaroth because they knew it could turn into their final moments.
Thankfully, Ashton and Astaroth were primarily busy with each other, and their interactions with the Xyrans were limited to Ibis. Still, no one tried to stay around Ashton or Astaroth for prolonged periods.
"I wonder why they are so scared of us," Astaroth mumbled while the two of them were on the bay, looking at the stars.
"Let's see... probably because you killed one of them as soon as you woke up?" Ashton scoffed, leaning on the railings. "It's been a month since we left Earth, right?"
"28 days, to be precise," Astaroth replied. "but it is expected to take that much time because Xenithar is around the edge of the galaxy."
