Kieran stated, "Well, I promise I won't let anything happen to this planet. I will fight to protect it with everything I have."
Ashaiki's eyes widened, stating, "You mentioned being here before, is this the first planet they let you visit?"
"Y-yes, why do you ask?"

Ashaiki smirked slightly, stating, "Well, aren't we the lucky ones. You have an attachment dilemma going on since this is your first planet. Tell me, how did your first visit end up being here?"
Kieran's smiling quickly faded as she peered towards the ground, stating, "I failed to save a young man from the Vampire Lord Erebos, though I'm not expecting you to know him. He had his soul stolen and made me promise to never let anyone have the same fate as him."
Ashaiki , her eyes widening even more, said, "The boy who was killed at the park that night, you were there and you fought with the Erebos guy. I guess him being a vampire explains why our detection system didn't work on him, perhaps. It didn't even detect him either times until he started attacking."
"Yes, and I'm trying to right my wrongs of letting him down by getting him his body back, even if it's rotted and a skeleton now," she said, clenching her fist.
Amanda leaned up against the computer quietly, watching as they discussed, stating, "The others should be back soon from their patrol. I think they only had to deal with 1 or 2 creatures this week."
I guess for the night I have to find somewhere to stay as she guided herself to the ground as she touched down behind a building as she heard a women scream as worry in her heart filled quickly as she rushed from an alley way into another as she found a women surrounded by three men with pocket knives against her.
Kieran screaming out stating "Hey, get away from her as they all turned to her as the man in the middle with blond hair stating who is this bitch?" Give us your money also dummy!"
Before he could react, she sprang from her feet with her plain shoes covered in dirty mud from Brazil, delivering a swift kick to the man's face, crushing him into the wall.
He hit it roughly and dropped to the ground as the other two men with masks over their faces backstepped with their hands up before they ran off in the distance.
Kieran held a hand out towards the woman, stating, "Is everything okay?" She nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, my cat had gotten loose from the hotel, and I chased her down here without noticing I was being followed," as tears streamed down her face.
"If it wasn't for you, I don't know what would have happened to me. Please, let me find a way to make it up to you," she pleaded, her voice tinged with genuine gratitude and a touch of vulnerability.
"Well," Kieran responded, his eyes reflecting a mix of relief and sincerity, "I do need a place to stay for the night. Perhaps I can crash at your hotel until the morning."
The woman, her gaze holding a glimmer of empathy, brushed her hand through her disheveled black hair. "Yes," she said, a warm smile breaking through, "I am the manager for the Hyatt Grand Central hotel. Please come with me, and I will waive any fees for you for the night and set you up with your own room."
"Thank you, ma'am," Kieran expressed with heartfelt appreciation as he assisted her to her feet. Together, they strolled towards the hotel in the night, the atmosphere charged with a mixture of gratitude, relief, and an unspoken connection.
Unaware of the rumbling behind them— the second severed hand from the Lord of Vale that Kieran had sliced off earlie
