"Have you heard the news, Fenric?"
Jason sat lazily in the chair, taking a deep breath as he glanced at Fenric across from him.
Fenric's expression turned grim as he gave a slow nod.
"I've heard," he replied respectfully. "That incident shook the entire continent. Everyone's talking about it."
He was referring, of course, to the destruction of the Halveran Capital at the hands of the Singularity of Chaos last night.
The Holy Empire of Valtanir—one of humanity's greatest powers—was believed to have walls so strong they were impossible to breach.
But that belief was shattered last night, when Halveran, their final bastion, was obliterated—reduced to a crater two meters deep.
Many refused to believe it at first, but the evidence was undeniable.
The room fell silent, with only the sound of Jason and Fenric's breathing filling the space.
