Chapter 197: Mediation

As the Quantum Sovereign's clock ticked closer to the designated time, the atmosphere onboard grew palpable with anticipation. The events of the previous evening had only intensified the need for a resolution between the two Orders.

Caden and Elowen were already in the diplomacy suite, making final preparations. The room was vast, bathed in soft, neutral lighting, and dominated by a long, crescent-shaped table. Place settings with nameplates were meticulously arranged, ensuring each Order and its members were opposite each other, with Caden and his team in the middle, reinforcing the neutral position they held.

Solari and Solan, each flanked by their Seekers, stood by the entrance. Their presence was a testament to the gravity of the situation and a reminder that the Quantum Echo Order would act as enforcers of decorum if necessary.
