Chapter 7 - Rise of Saiyara

After escaping the Rogue Syndicate and spending nearly 80 years drifting between outlaw planets, Eve remained a ghost—observing civilizations from afar, intervening only in major crises. That changed in the desert world of KAra-Vaen, during a diplomatic conflict between Saiyaran emissaries and a hostile faction.

When chaos broke out, Eve stepped in, threw the faction dozens to the dust in seconds, and vanished—leaving Mira stunned.

Days later, Mira tracked Eve down, sitting on her scout ship parked near a canyon. She was still on KAra-Vaen.

"You don't have to walk alone," she had said.

Mira, an orphan turned diplomat, saw the same exile in Eve's eyes. She offered no alliance, no treaty—just conversation. That conversation turned into trust. And trust, eventually, turned into a bond.

Eve visited Saiyara with her for the first time—a lush, primitive Earth-like planet. She stayed for what was meant to be days. But she found something unexpected there: peace. People who didn't fear her. A planet that reminded her of Earth before the fall. Eve only had Synthia's memory, Saiyara was a live example.

When a galactic warlord threatened Saiyara, Eve led its defense without hesitation. Not as a soldier, but as one of them. Saving millions, and in the aftermath, Saiyara crowned her their Queen—a role she at first refused.

Mira convinced her.

"Not as a ruler," she said, "but as a protector. Let them see you, not as myth—but as ours. Accept this, and become the daughter of Andromeda. You have wandered too much alone. Let Andromeda be your home."

Eight more Andromeda planets followed the suit, but she didn't accept the crown from them. They made her their Queen anyway.

Mira passed many years later—but her descendants carried on her legacy. Each firstborn daughter of Mira's bloodline was raised to serve Eve. A sacred tradition formed around protecting and advising her.

By the time Eve turned 260, she met another Mira, great-great-granddaughter of the first Mira. She had her name, and so much facial likeness. The only difference was that, the new Mira wasn't just a support, but direction as well.
