System Requiem: A World in the Balance

The next morning, Lena called for a series of one-on-one meetings with key leaders of the Alliance. Her first target was Admiral Draven, who had been her closest ally throughout this conflict. If anyone could offer insight into how to mend the broken unity within their ranks, it would be him.

The holographic communication flickered to life, and Draven's face appeared on the screen. His usual stoic expression softened when he saw Lena's tired eyes.

"Lena, I—" He paused, searching for the right words. "I didn't think you would be taking this so well."

Lena sighed, rubbing her temples. "I don't know if I'm taking it well. But I can't let the core define me any longer. It's time to lead without it, and I need your help to rebuild the Alliance. You've always known how to inspire the troops. I need that now more than ever."

Draven nodded slowly, his gaze calculating. "We'll need to focus on the things that unite us, not the things that divide us. The Rhytil—they don't care about our politics, our internal rifts. They only care about one thing: power."

Lena's heart clenched. The weight of that truth was undeniable. The Rhytil were relentless, and if the Alliance continued to fracture, the war would be lost before it even truly began.

"I'll do whatever it takes," Lena said, determination in her voice. "We have to come together. The first step is to show them that I'm not just some puppet of the core. I need to lead by example, not by force."
