The trip back to Zarion was smooth and uneventful. Adrian shared the front cockpit of the lead Trailblazer with Charles, who took on the role of driver.
The two of them simply existed in the quiet space, the silence broken only by the engine sound.
The silence reflected the general mood of the returning warriors, many of whom were still processing the events of the last few days.
The sheer speed at which everything had transpired. The war, the death of the King, the dawn of a new era. It had all left them in a state of quiet shock.
This silence, however, was not meant to last. Charles, with his talkative nature, eventually broke the silence with a lighthearted comment.
That first small utterance was like a spark, and it soon ignited a fire of conversation among the other warriors. Before long, the Trailblazer was filled with the sounds of chatter, laughter, and the shared excitement of finally going home.
