WHOOSH!
The heavy, mana-dense atmosphere of World Thirteen split open as a colossal, silver spatial vessel ascended into the void.
Kael stood on a high balcony, his dark robes whipping in the wind. He watched the Family Head, flanked by Cassandra and a retinue of High Elders and Blades, depart for The Starless Grave. The ancient monster was gone, leaving the estate to the vipers.
"Good riddance," Kael murmured, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Without wasting another moment, he turned and went to the teleportation chamber going through the spatial portal. Whoosh! The world dissolved into silver light, and when it cleared, he was standing in the grand foyer of his mansion in Starfall City.
A week passed in focused isolation.
BZZZT!
