The supposed "Daughter" stepped calmly into the chaotic field, her figure illuminated faintly by the glow of the still-whipping pillars.
Gaius exhaled, relaxing the iron clench of his fist.
His massive shoulders lowered slightly, though his presence still pressed heavily on the square. His gaze shifted to her, eyes narrowing with recognition.
"What are you doing here, Rina?"
Air eidra pulsed faintly around her hand, swirling gently before dissipating into calm streams as she raised it.
With a graceful motion, she let the energy fade entirely, showing she came not to fight but to speak.
She dipped her head in acknowledgment before her voice carried, firm yet respectful.
"I congratulate you on your victory, Father. I have only just arrived moments ago, using a transporter portal the soldiers had prepared and activated. I bring news."
"So they've already set the portal, then," Gaius muttered with a grunt, his tone acknowledging her efficiency.
