The mysterious warrior stepped out of the portal like a shadow becoming solid.
Her armor was dark and light at the same time, as if it absorbed the night around her.
Silver eyes scanned the street carefully.
The Watchers immediately raised their weapons.
"Stop right there!" one of them shouted.
But the warrior didn't react.
Her gaze was fixed on Kael.
"So it's true," she said calmly.
"The Realmwalker has awakened."
Kael looked confused.
"You know about this?"
The woman tilted her head slightly.
"Every realm knows the legends."
Elias stepped forward carefully.
"Identify yourself."
The warrior finally looked at him.
"I am Nyra of the Shadow Realm."
She pointed toward the portal behind her.
"And that gate should not exist."
Kael raised his glowing hand.
"I didn't mean to open it."
Nyra's expression hardened.
"You didn't open it."
Kael frowned.
"Then who did?"
Nyra turned toward the cracked sky above the city.
"The Chaos Realm."
At that moment the ground trembled again.
The purple fracture in the sky widened.
Dark shapes began moving behind it.
Nyra's voice became serious.
"If the Chaos Realm is breaking the barriers…"
She looked back at Kael.
"Then this world is about to become a battlefield."
