Aegis of the Arctic Deity's Memorial Ceremony

Orion immediately scooped Reena up in a princess carry. "Are you ready?" he asked mischievously, looking at her.

Reena timidly nodded, her body tensing unconsciously. It was her first time experiencing Orion's new ability, so she felt a little apprehensive.

"Don't worry, you won't feel anything until we arrive," Orion reassured her with a smile. 

He activated his gift, releasing Vylkr energy from four Vylkr containers. Almost instantly, bluish lightning streaks erupted from his body, transforming him into a being seemingly constructed from pure lightning. Despite this transformation, Reena didn't feel harmed by the lightning; instead, she felt slightly warmer and ticklish.

"Hold on tight," Orion muttered before abruptly disappearing with a crackling sound, rising into the sky with her.

Within seconds, they zoomed past Third Border City and arrived far from the towering wooden walls encircling the border cities.
