Chapter 95: The Sealed Hangar
The doors to the sealed hangar loomed before Raizen and his team, reinforced with heavy plating that had survived the passage of time. The control panel beside it flickered dimly, its screen covered in layers of dust. Whatever lay beyond had remained untouched for decades.
Liana worked quickly, bypassing the ancient security protocols. "This system is old, but someone put serious effort into keeping it locked down."
Raizen tapped the hilt of his blade, golden eyes narrowing. "Which means what's inside is worth hiding."
With a final keystroke, the terminal flashed green, and the heavy doors hissed as they slowly began to open. A rush of stale air flooded out, carrying the scent of oil and metal long left undisturbed.
Joran stepped forward, peering inside. "Well… that's something you don't see every day."
As the doors fully retracted, the massive hangar came into view—stretching far into the darkness, illuminated only by emergency lights that flickered weakly overhead. Rows of suspended ships lined the chamber, some small and sleek, others towering behemoths meant for war. At the center, dominating the space, was something that made Raizen's breath still.
A flagship-class vessel, sleek yet formidable, its frame etched with intricate patterns that seemed almost organic. Its hull shimmered with an unknown alloy, bearing markings that Raizen instinctively recognized—even though he had never seen them before.
Kain let out a low whistle. "That… is not from this sector."
Liana's fingers flew over her scanner, her expression shifting. "That's because it isn't. This ship isn't just a prototype. It's ancient. And its energy readings… Raizen, it's made of a material that matches the artifact you carry."
Raizen's grip tightened around the small dragon-emblazoned pendant hanging beneath his armor. His father's last gift.
Joran turned to him. "So, what now?"
Raizen took a deep breath, his instincts screaming that this discovery was far more than luck—it was fate. He stepped toward the ship, placing a hand on its cold, unyielding hull.
The moment his fingers made contact, the entire hangar came to life.
Lights flared, power surged through the ship, and a deep, resonating voice echoed through the chamber.
"Bloodline recognized… Welcome home, Heir of the Draconic Throne."
Raizen's heart pounded.
Liana took a step back. "What the hell did you just wake up?"
Raizen exhaled slowly, a knowing smirk forming. "Something that's been waiting for me."
