Multiple notifications kept ringing in the corner of my mind ever since I started killing the phantoms. I dismissed all of them for now and focused on the new summon standing in front of me.
She looked human at first glance, but small details made it clear she was anything but. Faint sparks flickered inside her eyes like tiny lightning arcs. Every few seconds, thin blue veins glowed under her fair skin before fading again. Her presence felt calm, steady… almost soothing, which was strange considering she had been a phantom only moments ago.
While I studied her, she suddenly spoke.
"Thank you."
Her voice was soft, smooth, and carried a quiet warmth, almost like a patient teacher explaining something to a confused student. It caught me off guard.
"Thank you?" I asked, confused.
"Yes. Thank you for freeing me from the claws of the Eternals," she said with a tone that sounded completely sincere.
