Yes. Kaktos was always… eccentric.
But not quite like this.
There was something different about today.
Her energy, her eagerness—it all stemmed from one thing.
Drabo.
For three hundred years, she had longed for this moment, aching to see him again.
And now, it was finally happening.
Khaos felt the same overwhelming emotion—but unlike his sister, he knew how to contain himself.

With the introductions complete, all attention shifted to the massive Paradigm Circle.
Khaos and Kaktos stepped forward.
They were the only ones who could carry out this resurrection.
If anyone else—aside from perhaps Kaliyah—attempted it, the world itself would demand an equivalent exchange.
An insurmountable toll.
They would burn through their Mystic energy… and die.
But for Khaos and Kaktos?
The cost was laughable.
Their Mystic energy rivaled that of gods, if said gods were confined to mortal vessels.
Even so—they wanted to do this together.
Side by side.
