Having served the Empire for half of his life, Ela was decisively sold out. He intended to flee to another country but was nearly beaten to death during his escape before being saved by a dragon-gi...

The astral plane fell silent once more.

"If the prime plane also turns into stars... that would be a good thing... perhaps it would allow me to touch upon the power of gods... but..."
"I...shouldn't...I...I don't know."
