The Commander's Plan
Far away, deep within a hidden fortress, the Void Hunter commander stood before a large map.
Several high-ranking hunters surrounded him.
"The first attempt failed," one of them said.
The commander remained calm.
"It was expected."
Another hunter spoke.
"The heir is growing faster than predicted."
The commander nodded slightly.
"Yes."
He placed his hand on the map.
"We will not attack blindly again."
A new symbol appeared on the map.
A location far from the academy.
"The next phase begins here."
One of the hunters frowned.
"You want to lure him out?"
The commander smiled faintly.
"No."
"I want him to come to us willingly."
He turned toward them.
"Prepare the next gate."
The hunters nodded.
The war was entering a new stage.
