Back at the Starfall estate, the atmosphere was completely different from the chaos spreading throughout Suncrest City.
Thoren sat with his family in the living room, listening to Elara excitedly talk about everything that had happened while he was away.
Serene occasionally interrupted her daughter to ask Thoren another question. As for Ardyn, he remained beside them with a satisfied smile, clearly enjoying having his son home again.
Suddenly, the television suddenly flickered.
The cheerful program that had been playing on the screen disappeared, replaced by a red emergency notification.
At the same time, their communication devices vibrated almost simultaneously.
A piercing emergency alarm sounded from the television.
EMERGENCY ALERT — HOSTILE THREAT DETECTED.
Instantly, the expression on Serene's face changed. Her smile disappeared, replaced by shock and fear as she stared at the screen.
Elara's body shivered.
