(The Time-Stilled World, One Month Later, Mairon's POV)
A month passed in what felt like a fleeting instant inside the Time-Stilled World, as before Mairon could fully process the passage of time, he found himself standing at the departure dock, ready to report to Commander Micky James' troop for active duty.
"Don't bother Commander James too much…. And do your best to make us all proud."
Caleb told him before he left, as unlike him, Caleb was posted under Commander Anderson Silva, and was scheduled to depart three days later.
"Ya, ya…. I'll be good…."
Mairon assured his brother before boarding, as he confirmed his presence within the chain of command and took charge of his ship.
Before long, the ship took off and crossed the boundary gate to the outside universe, as for the first time in a long time, Mairon witnessed the outer universe with his own eyes.
*FWOOSH*
