The Urban Legend Sorcerer’s Apprentice

Chapter 171

Talia stood on the deck of her spaceship, looking out at the stars. The battle against the Galactic Empire had been long and hard-fought, but they had emerged victorious. The Empire had been defeated, and peace had returned to the universe.

But as Talia looked out at the vastness of space, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. The evil they had faced had been powerful, more powerful than anything they had ever encountered before. And yet, it had been defeated so easily, almost as if it had wanted to be defeated.

As she pondered this, a voice interrupted her thoughts. "Beautiful, isn't it?"

Talia turned to see a man standing behind her. He was tall and handsome, with piercing blue eyes and a charming smile.

"Who are you?" Talia asked, her voice wary.

The man chuckled. "I am known by many names, but you may call me Lucian."

Talia felt a shiver run down her spine. There was something about this man that unnerved her, something that she couldn't quite put her finger on.
