Chapter 46

• The private dimension was alive with the energy of training. The recruits moved through the adaptive terrains of the Training Grounds, honing their skills as Kael and Angelica observed. Their leadership role was new territory, but both felt the weight of the mission pushing them to bring out the best in their new allies.
• Darius swung his glowing battle axe in broad arcs, the power behind his strikes undeniable. Yet Kael noticed his technique lacked control, leaving openings an enemy could exploit. Across the arena, Lyra darted between moving platforms, her magical arrows finding their marks with uncanny precision. Jace stood nearby, his glowing hands hovering over simulated wounded allies as he practiced rapid healing.
• Angelica was in the thick of it, her flames searing a path through the chaos simulation as she directed Mira and Thane. Mira’s fiery blasts were strong but unfocused, while Thane’s twin blades danced in precise, calculated motions.
