Overcoming despair

The Sky Sovereign showed no outward reaction to Cain's threat. His voice was calm as he replied, "I understand my situation. In truth, I can do no more than cloak the signal. You should use this brief period to find a safe haven."

Cain's eyes remained fixed on the phantom. After several seconds, he let out a quiet sigh. It appeared that the Sky Sovereign was telling the truth—if he was indeed too weak to do more than provide a temporary cover, then Cain was in serious trouble. Taking a deep breath, Cain calmed his mind, scouring his thoughts for a way out of this crisis.
