Quite likely for the very first time since his exile, Theo woke up… perfectly well-rested, calm, and relaxed.

With just enough time left before the invasion, he took his sweet time slowly snacking on the berry mush before opting for the luxurious option of drinking three whole berries by taking merely one gulp of the angelic juice from each.

Then, as the sun started to rise, as signified by the changing shadows cast by the tops of the trees, Theo made two rounds around his entire ring of defense.

Every connection, be it of a belt or a power line, was checked. Every gun turret confirmed green, the switchboard in a simple concrete bunker-tower allowed Theo to control each of the four sectors of his moat, switching the electricity at will.

Before fully moving over to the control tower that Theo erected right next to his mansion, he still made sure to do the very last thing that he could test only now when the invasion timer was about to run out anyway.
