Sorry for not being able to update guys.
I am currently in the process of changing my job and relocating. So I don't have enough time to spend on the story and I will update again next month.
Thanks for the support till now!

'Stars fill the night sky twinkling as a guide to the souls of the soldiers who died defending their home, yet some are slowly losing their luster. It's only a matter of time for this beautiful piece of the night sky to become completely dark like a black hole.'
'Sensing the rapidly approaching footsteps, I can tell that it's my secretary/best friend Aluma without turning back. This might be the last time we can meet, probably she knows it too, as I can sense her mood is low and she must have just cried before coming to face me.'

"Your majesty, the 6th Interception squad has discovered the location of the break in the dimensional barrier. We lost contact before getting more information, but it's confirmed that the break is guarded by existence with a similar evolutionary level as your highness." Says Aluma looking at my back solemnly.
"Can you please call me Astrella whenever there is no one else Aluma. You know you used to be very lively before the invasion or to say before I rebelled and took over as Empress. I really miss those days."I replied in a low voice as I keep on gazing into the distant void.
Alumas' eyes welled up with tears as she remembered the past "we can't go back to the past, your highness."
"This might be my last battle Aluma, and I also hope to go back to the same way as in the past but I still will do the same as before without regrets. This war has been going on for far too long, we have already exhausted more than a quarter of the resource stars known in our Dimension. If we keep prolonging it, even if the final victor is ours, we will be driven to a dead-end without resources."Says Astrella turning to face aluma who is now watching stars as if to remember the past.
"You know all I can remember since I was a kid was either xxxxstar has been invaded/defended or xxxxEvoltionary sacrificed in battle. I didn't take it to heart until it was my turn to face it. I don't want the next generation to face the same situation as us if possible. After the war has ended, promise me that you take of yourself and have a happy life for both of us."I quickly walk up to her and give her a tight hug.
Feeling the wetness on the shoulders, I was also emotional, but I still have to do this. Enjoying a rare moment of peace before going to the front line, we just sat there watching the stars. After a few minutes, Aluma let go and said "be safe, try to come back as much as possible."
