Niara and Darian came out of the hole. They looked around and found themselves just five meters from the entrance of the building. Suddenly...
*BOOM!*
The ground exploded, and Niara got blasted ten meters back after another close dodge.
Now, they were fifteen meters away. When Darian looked up, he saw the red sky filled with spatial portals. A chill ran down his spine. Those were links to distant places in the galaxy. The Risen Lords had been summoned...
They had, at most, three minutes. That's how long it would take for the channels to stabilize and allow them through. Meanwhile, the rain of scarlet light kept falling.
The skies were crashing down on Niara.
She moved like lightning, dodging left and right, avoiding the beams of light that looked like divine spears.
