Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5 - LAST LIGHT

Date: December 15, 2030

Time: 06:45

Location: Atlas Base, North Atlantic

An eternal silence…

At Atlas Base, the only sound was the flutter of the Turkish flag in the wind.

Sefa Yücel was no more.

But unanswered questions remained.

The Survivors

Eren, staring out the window with his bandaged shoulder, spoke:

"The commander made eye contact with someone at the last moment. It was intense… almost like disappointment."

Zayd said nothing. He was tapping the table with a knife. Gökhan glanced at him and lowered his head.

Serhat remained silent. But his eyes wandered.

Anomalies in the Recordings

The team reviewed the black box data. At one point, the coordinates shifted. The enemy had known of the team's presence long before they landed.

Zayd stood up:

"Someone from the inside might have leaked the intel."

Serhat lifted his head slightly but said nothing.

Nemesis Base – Unknown Location

Dim lights. Monitors blinking. A voice echoed:

"Sefa Yücel… finally silenced."

"But… thanks to our man Zayd, this was only the beginning."

The name Zayd slipped from the enemy leader's mouth.

It lasted only seconds.

Unrecorded.

Unheard.

For now.

A World in Turmoil

After Sefa's death, the world stood still. People didn't know what happened—but they felt something had shifted.

General Huxley addressed the media:

"Sefa Yücel was a hero. But we will also expose those who betrayed us from within."

Zayd wiped a single bead of sweat from his forehead.

Gökhan's Suspicion

Kneeling by the grave, Gökhan whispered:

"Commander... you looked at someone in your final moment. But we didn't understand."

Serhat watched from a distance. His eyes… still evasive.

A New Beginning

Meanwhile, in another world—another realm entirely…

A newborn opened his eyes.

Snow-white hair.

Emerald green eyes.

Yet behind them… something far older.

Altan Yüce.
