King Troy's throne room was dimly lit, the only sound the soft hum of the holographic display projecting before him. Reze, the brilliant scientist, stood before the screen, her eyes fixed on the data streaming across its surface.
"Your Majesty." She began, her voice crisp. "I've received an update on the situation with Kyle and the space guard group he...acquired."
Troy's eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable. "Go on."
Reze nodded, her fingers flying across the holographic interface. The screen flickered, displaying a grainy image of Kyle's ship descending onto Kraken's surface.
"They landed approximately 72 hours ago, sire. Initial reports indicate they encountered a Krael, one of Kraken's most powerful servants."
Troy's grip on the armrest tightened. "A Krael? That's not good."
He didn't speak out of pity or concern for Kyle, but his own citizens and guards that'd accompanied Kyle in the mission.
