Distress Call

"We've detected a significant surge of magic within the Dragon plane, persisting for several hours," Midnight reported, her figure blending into the background behind Lucian.

"What caused it?" Lucian asked, his voice devoid of emotion.

The background shifted as Midnight shook her head in apology, "We could not decipher the plane's barrier and failed to infiltrate it. We tried using our Divine Sense but noticed a detection array on the barrier and retreated at once. If not, the Dragon Emperor would have discovered us."

Lucian did not answer and only continued to look at the scene before him. There was actually nothing to see atop the high platform. But his gaze suggested he was looking at something only he could see.
