Zenith approached with slow, measured steps. She had long black hair, piercing red eyes, and wore a white and blue pleated skirt with a matching academy blazer. Adrian walked on her left, while metallic armored Viktor flanked her right.
Lucian was casually sitting on a nearby stone, with Elira and Sera standing on his left and right like sentinels.
