From the Aurora Clan, Liora Brightheart, a female Level 6 Galactic Overlord with the ability to harness light for devastating attacks, and Fenris Lightbringer, a male Level 7 Cosmic Sovereign famed for his radiant swordsmanship, were chosen.
In the Blazeborn Clan, Rex Emberstorm, a male Level 6 Galactic Overlord with a fiery temperament and fierce combat skills, stood out, alongside Tara Flameheart, a female Level 7 Cosmic Sovereign whose fiery abilities could incinerate any foe.
Finally, from the Skyforge Clan, Elysia Windrider, a female Level 6 Galactic Overlord with control over the winds, and Garrick Stormcaller, a male Level 7 Cosmic Sovereign known for his devastating storm-based techniques, were selected to represent their clan.
POVs of the Empire's Generals
Orion Voss stood before the maps detailing their expansion plans, his mind racing with thoughts of the unknown territories they were about to explore. "Every candidate chosen must be prepared for the dangers that lie ahead," he remarked to his fellow generals. "Our empire's strength hinges on this mission."
Kieran Ashen nodded in agreement, his eyes scanning the names of the selected warriors. "We must ensure that each one understands the gravity of their task. Failure is not an option."
Lyra Seraphine felt a mix of pride and concern as she thought about the upcoming mission. She was excited to see new talent emerge but understood the risks involved. "Let's prepare them well. They represent not just their clans, but the entire empire."
Zara Skye added, "We will train them rigorously. Their success will be our success, and we must not let the emperor down."
As the preparations unfolded, the atmosphere buzzed with determination and anticipation for the challenges that lay ahead.
