After the plan was set, Achilles acted on it.
Less than an hour after the council between him, the current Adrastia Emperor Kings, and Rose, he was ready to set off…or really, a Constellation Dream Body of his, though this one carried more of his true power than usual.
They stood within the Sea of Thalassara, its luminescent waters painting them in shades of impossible blue. Achilles and Rose faced outward while Adras and Thalsian stood behind them, their expressions mixing valor with the particular concern that came from watching family venture into danger.
"You are sure the two of you are enough?" Thalsian asked again, his deep voice carrying the weight of someone who had lost too much to be casual about risk.
Achilles smiled and turned back, his purple-gold eyes meeting his grandfather's ancient gaze.
"More than enough," he said with confidence that transcended arrogance. "And our other bodies will still be here. We'll keep you all updated with the results."
