Chapter 16 - A Startling Return - Book 1 End

As the world faded into darkness, a peculiar sensation washed over them all. It was as if their very existence was being unraveled and rewoven, a cosmic tapestry in the hands of an unseen weaver. Time and space warped and twisted, and they found themselves caught in the maelstrom of a reality that defied comprehension.

In this swirling abyss of existence, fragmented memories and disjointed thoughts tugged at the edges of their consciousness. They glimpsed moments from their past lives, images of battles fought and comrades lost. Toki, Articius, Lily, Emma, and Elizabeth Kya, the reincarnated souls of former Raid Officers, felt the weight of their past experiences pressing upon them.

Lord Tooj and Cliff, who had witnessed the climactic battle from a distance, found themselves caught in the same enigmatic vortex. The memories of their pasts intertwined with those of the reincarnated souls, forging connections that defied explanation.
