Xytrallia floated closer to Rex, her glowing eyes filled with a mix of amusement and affection. She leaned in while planting a soft kiss on his cheek.
"Well then, since I can't get what I wanted here, I'll take my leave. It's almost time to feed my son, after all," she said, her voice being playful. When she mentioned "my son," she winked at Rex, her tone carrying a hint of mischief.
Before Rex could respond, she vanished, reappearing several kilometers away in the blink of an eye. With a wave of her hand, she opened a spatial crack leading to her fleet's location.
"Well then, let's meet again soon," Xytrallia called out, her voice echoing through the void as she stepped into the crack. The spatial rift sealed behind her, leaving no trace of her presence.
Rex let out a long, relieved sigh as he watched her disappear. He then looked down at Zynaria, who was cradled in his arms, her fiery wings flickering weakly. "You're safe now," he murmured, his voice gentle.
