Chapter 284 Portal Chaos

• POV: Luna
• The portal never fully closed. Professor Thorne's training session had been three days of false peace. Three days of pretending the crisis was over. Three days of recovery that was interrupted too soon by reality refusing to cooperate with our need for rest.
• The alarms sounded at dawn. Not practice. Not drill. Real threat. Portal destabilizing again. Otherworld energy building. Everything we'd survived threatening to resume with renewed intensity.
