Meanwhile, inside the Governor's Mansion, far away from the chaos surrounding the Abyss Gateway.
The atmosphere was unusually quiet, with only the faint ticking of an expensive mechanical clock breaking the silence of the spacious office.
Behind a large wooden table sat the Governor. Dressed in expensive wool clothes that carried an understated elegance.
Her expression was calm and dignified as she reviewed several documents placed before her. She had barely finished reading the report in her hand when the door opened.
Her personal assistant hurried inside.
"Your Excellence…"
The Governor asked without raising her head.
"What is it?"
The assistant stopped several steps away from the table before taking a deep breath.
"Thoren Starfall has returned."
The Governor's hand paused above the document.
"Thoren Starfall?"
"Yes."
The assistant nodded quickly.
"He has already arrived inside the city."
