Away from the Kingdom of Neon, which was in the midst of merging with multiple Colony Cities...
In a quiet, battered stretch of the Cenotaph Wild Lands, the dry, towering trees loomed like sentinels.
Surrounding a devastated Colony City, vines and ancient timber formed a natural barrier, their shapes twisted and stretched by time.
And within that living wall, war thundered.
Not in name. But in reality.
Above the ruined city, Nyxaria Moonveil Lunaris hovered- her feet wreathed in ethereal blue wings, ancient oceanic tattoos glowing faintly along her skin. Her long dark hair shimmered with streaks of blue that was caught by the winds.
She watched from above, eyes scanning the city where countless buildings had already been reduced to rubble. The destruction here was worse than anything she had seen, even surpassing what the Colony City of Green had endured.
The cause? Venomous Snakemen.
