Every movement, every footstep of the guards, played out like a calculated dance, choreographed to avoid any missteps that might present me with the opportunity I so desperately sought.
My laser eyes were my most potent weapon, but I needed the perfect shot.
A shot that wouldn’t risk Violet.
My anger, a roiling storm behind my eyes, threatened to surge forward.
But I couldn’t let it.
Not yet.
This anger, this power, was a beast I had to control, to summon when the time was right.
I visualized it, held it behind a formidable gate, ready to release its fury when the moment presented itself.
“Stay calm, Kuana,” Violet whispered, her voice soft yet filled with determination.
I could hear the worry for me, the concern that I might lose control.
And that concern grounded me, tethering me to the promise I’d made to protect her at all costs.
I nodded slightly, hoping to convey that I was in control, that my rage wouldn’t consume me just yet.
We were carried through what seemed to be a vast hangar bay, filled with various spacecrafts of different sizes and designs.
The walls were lined with windows that offered views of a vast, jungle landscape.
We must have been on a planet or a moon.
As I scanned the environment, I picked up on several potential escape routes, ventilation shafts, and weak points in the architecture.
If I were alone, I might have taken the gamble.
But with her safety on the line, the risks were far too great.
I could feel Ikhax’s smug satisfaction, a palpable energy in the air.
He believed he’d won, believed he’d outsmarted us.
But this game was far from over.
The journey through the hangar seemed endless, but eventually, the environment changed.
We entered a series of narrow corridors, the walls now sleek and metallic, pulsing with an eerie blue glow.
Every now and then, we would pass guarded doorways and hear muffled voices or the hum of machinery.
It became evident that we were now inside a fortified facility, likely designed to hold prisoners like me, or perhaps, even worse, to harness the powers within me.
I could see the end of the corridor ahead, a large doorway flanked by heavily armed guards.
This, I assumed, was our final destination.
I mentally readied myself, preparing to unleash my powers.
But I still needed that one opening, that perfect moment.
And then, as we approached the entrance, one of the guards seemed to fumble with his weapon.
