Tampering Vornis—BOOM

Sylvia's eyes was fixed on one of the silver containment boxes.

She stood before it, alone.

Without hesitation, she tapped the release sequence.

The box unfolded with a hiss of air and arcane pressure.

Vornis, the steel warbeast, soon appeared from it.

Sylvia smirked. "There you are."

She circled the beast slowly, clipboard in one hand, scanning device in the other.

"Luxoria Castle claims Vornis can't be disassembled… or researched," she said aloud.

"That tampering will cause system failure."

She stopped in front of its face, tilting her head.

"But who am I?"

She tapped the metal plate on her chest—an Aurelis family emblem.

"I'm Sylvia. Of the Aurelius bloodline. We don't buy power—we unravel it."

She walked over to the lab console, fingers flying across the keys.

"A beast that can't be understood isn't a weapon. It's an illusion. And illusions break."
