“Indeed, it wasn’t in the grandiose arena of the Airspace Group that I was bested by Xarri,” Rhett admitted, his voice carrying a touch of nostalgia as he surveyed the room.

“No, it happened right here.”

Rhett regarded Emmanuel with a look of admiration, clearly impressed by his sharp analytical skills. With a knowing smile, he continued, “For reasons known only to us, we arranged a private duel here. We clashed swords until the break of dawn, and ultimately, I emerged defeated.”

“But I see no trace of your defeat,” Emmanuel responded immediately, his gaze unwavering.

Rhett chuckled, a sound rich with amusement and acknowledgment. Emmanuel’s words weren’t intended to offer him an easy escape from his admission. “I was defeated here,” Rhett confessed, pointing to his heart with his thumb.

Emmanuel’s expression shifted to one of surprise and intrigue, his curiosity piqued by the story that lay between Rhett and Xarri.

“You bear a striking resemblance to him,” Rhett remarked, his eyes meeting Emmanuel’s with an intensity that seemed to penetrate his soul. “In the depths of your eyes, I glimpse a vast sea of stars, harboring limitless power.”
