Wang Jian decided Lyra would be his first target. Star Goddess Lyra, grace personified, jewel of Altan's crown. If he could sway her, it would be a significant victory, a clear message to the Western Cosmos, and a delicious personal triumph.
"Lyra it is," Wang Jian declared to his wives, back in the battleship's opulent chamber. "Zylos mentioned she is often at the 'Gardens of Starlight' within the Nexus. A place of… contemplation, he said."
Yujia nodded, her knowledge of celestial customs proving useful. "The Gardens are indeed sacred to Star Goddesses. A place for meditation, for communing with the cosmic energies. It is… a place of peace, usually."
