NEXT TARGET

As the crowd of students began to disperse, Ariel stayed behind, taking a few moments to reflect on what she had learned. The pieces were falling into place. She had the power of the Spirit World at her fingertips and the resources of Hollowspire under her control, and now, she is absorbing knowledge to create ships and fortresses that would be unmatched by any other force in the multiverse.

But as always, Ariel was not content to merely amass power for its own sake. She had a clear vision for the future—a future where her allies would grow alongside her, where the Voiders would evolve into an unstoppable force capable of reshaping the universe itself. She wanted to build a legacy that would stand for eternity, not just through strength, but through innovation, knowledge, and the unity of her people.
