Zeno nodded. "Guarding Elysium…new job."
Nyx tossed a shadow dagger. "Miss me?"
Zeno caught it. "Training needed."
Kaden, Lara, and Arin approached. "Everything okay?"
Zeno turned. "Elysium's safe. I'm…adjusted."
Lara smiled softly. "You're part of us."
Eira appeared. "But whispers…a 'Hollow' stirs."
Arin frowned. "Another test?"
Eira vanished. Silence.
The Hollow emerged—a void in reality.
Zeno stepped forward. "My shift."
