(Planet Vorthas, Hangar Bay Area, Early Morning)
Leo arrived at the Hangar Bay with a half-yawn still lingering on his face, his boots clicking against the steel floor as the ramp lights guided his path toward the awaiting vessel bound for Juxta.
He had expected a silent, uneventful ride, maybe some closed-eye rest en route, until a uniformed soldier intercepted him near the boarding ramp.
"Sir Skyshard," the soldier said, straightening to attention, "you're not flying out just yet. Commander Charles issued new orders. You have been asked to return to your family at once."
Leo's brow raised slightly. "Why?"
"Apparently your family made contact a few days ago," the soldier replied. "Your elder brother… he's awake. Luke Skyshard regained consciousness around four days back."
Leo froze. His mind blinked. And then, as the words settled in, his emotions flared.
A soft blue aura began to envelope his body, as he broke out in a wide grin.
