We stepped out of my room and made our way down the corridor toward the control room. The hum of the ship grew louder as we approached, voices bleeding through the partially open doorway before we even stepped inside.
Everyone was already there.
I cleared my throat once.
"That's everyone, right?" I said, more to center the room than to ask. When I had their attention, I stepped slightly to the side. "Alright. Everyone, meet the newest member of the Order of Absolute. Step forward."
The figure behind me moved.
The Eternal walked into the room with measured steps, posture straight, presence immediately noticeable even without any aura flaring. Matte black from head to toe, humanoid and precise, red eyes steady and alert as they took in the space.
Steve let out a low whistle before he could stop himself. "Well damn," he muttered.
Before anyone else could move, a shadow flickered.
