Triple X System

Snow’s voice was like a gentle breeze in Kyle’s mind, teasing him with a sly grin. [So, Kyle, how’s things going with Elara?]

Kyle’s response was immediate, a firm denial. "There’s nothing going on with Elara, Snow. Don’t even go there."

Snow’s laughter was like a soft chuckle in his mind. [Oh, come on, Kyle. I can sense the tension between you two. It’s like a palpable thing.]

Kyle shook his head, dismissing the idea. "His attention shifted to the duo sitted on the bed. What’s the update on Lumia kingdom?"

Lucias and Layla exchanged a glance, their expressions downcast. "It’s not good, Kyle," Lucias said, his voice low. "We’ve lost connection with Lumia kingdom and King Troy. We don’t know what’s happening there."

Layla’s eyes were red-rimmed, her voice trembling. "We lost some good people, Kyle. We can’t just...we can’t just leave them behind."

Kyle’s expression was grim, his eyes narrowing. "We’ll get back to them, Layla. I promise."

Just then, Elara walked into the room, a silver tray floating in the air behind her. She placed it on a round wooden table, her eyes sparkling with warmth. "Please, everyone, eat and replenish your strength. You need it."

Lucias and Layla shook their heads, but Elara’s expression was firm. "You need to eat, and it’s not wise to refuse food on Kraken. Normal food isn’t farmed or located here. Only the toughest of the tough, or something that wants you dead."

Kyle’s eyes narrowed, his mind racing. ’Snow, can you scan the food?’

Snow’s response was immediate. [It’s safe, Kyle. I detect no toxins or poisons.]

Kyle nodded, picking up a piece of the food. It was delicious, savory and sweet all at once. "What’s the origin of this food?" he asked Elara.
