Leo's silver eyes tracked the invisible currents in the air long before anyone else could sense them.
Staring up at the sky, Leo muttered, "It's finally here, took it long enough."
The others gathered around him—Ryder with his newly forged alliance with Dwang Sung, Brok with his long frown of concern, and Mara standing scarily near Ryder.
"What's here?" Mara inquired.
Leo extended a slender finger toward the seemingly empty sky. "The thick gamma energy I spoke about, spreading out from a distance. It's here."
To Leo alone, the air rippled with waves of purple energy, silent in its approach—a flow of power invisible to regular eyes.
The gamma energy expanded in waves that should have raced across the sky like wildfire, yet it moved with an unnatural sluggishness that made Leo's skin crawl.
Brok stepped forward, squinting upward. "I don't see anything."
"You will," Leo assured him. "Soon enough."
