Cypher's ship shakes violently as you, Kitai and Cypher Raig, Kitai's father, try to recover from the collision. The environment is chaotic, with lights flashing and alarms sounding. What was supposed to be an adventure in search of knowledge has now turned into a nightmare. When the dust began to settle, the three of you found yourself in a completely different world.
βAre we on Earth?β Kitai asks with wide eyes. You look out at the desolate landscape, filled with tall trees and the shadows of ruined structures.
βIt seems so,β you reply, trying to remain calm.
Cypher, injured, struggles to get up, but the pain in his leg stops him. βKitai, you need to lead. Find the flare. I... I can'tβ, he says, his voice low and trembling.
βNo, dad! You'll be fine. She and I will make it. Kitai responds, his determination growing, but the worry in his eyes is palpable and he takes your hand.
