After that brief yet catastrophic surge of madness—after she erased nearly fifteen percent of her own galaxy by her own hand, slaughtered trillions of living beings, and ignited an internal war whose flames scarred every planet of the galaxy day after day—Kaylis secretly returned to the Bright Planet and withdrew completely from everyone. She vanished from public sight, cutting herself off as though attempting to bury both her presence and her guilt beneath layers of silence.
She understood perfectly well that what she was doing now would not secure her victory in the war. The number of ways Darvion could still harm her at this stage was beyond counting. The simplest option would be for him to seize control of the entire sector while deliberately excluding the galaxy itself, slowly tightening the noose. Or, if he wished, he could simply destroy the galaxy's planets one by one, erasing them methodically until nothing stood between him and her.
