"Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised you know," the Eternal said.
His voice was calm but faintly distorted.
He looked around, eyes scanning the Voraka Planet.
His gaze lingered on Bael and Neo for a few seconds, then moved on.
"I detected traces of Ashes here. That's why I'm here," he explained.
Neo stayed silent, but his aura rippled.
The moment he saw the Eternal, a quiet anger began building inside him.
His fists clenched at his sides.
This was the being responsible for why he had lost memories of people he once held dear.
He wanted to lash out, but Kevin turned to him and shook his head once.
It was a small gesture, but the message was clear: don't act on impulse.
Neo took a breath and forced himself to calm down.
'Not yet.'
Now wasn't the time.
If he lost control here, he might throw away the chance to find answers and get revenge.
"So, where are the Ashes?" the Eternal asked again.
