Gathering the guardians

The message that made him decide to take them back was simple—it was a mission.

[Mission: Distractions of the Weak. The task has been hindered by your attachment to the weak. You must let go of them until the completion of the task.]

[Reward: The survival of your weak attachments.]

[Penalty: The death of your weak attachments.]

The system was doing everything to make sure Silva went after the task. He had been dragging it for too long, but now he was being pushed to complete it as fast as possible.

Silva didn't rush to the empire, though. He walked up the stairs and into his room, shut the door, and sat on the bed. Then, he allowed himself to fall into the system's space.

He floated in the void until he saw the floating light that was the system. The system immediately floated toward Silva when it sensed him.
