Baal woke up screaming. She then looked around, and saw that she was in her chamber. What? Wasn't she in the festival just now? Baal quickly got up and raced to the Kujou Clan Headquarters.

- Excuse me, is your general here?

Baal said in a panicked voice.

- Erm... Yes, your Excellency?

Baal opened Sara's room door. She was sleeping peacefully. That made Baal extremely confused. Was it all just a dream? Baal approached Sara and nudged her awake. Suddenly, Baal felt someone lock their arm around her neck.

- Who are you?! And what do you wa- Oh my archons. Your Excellency!  My deepest apologies! I did not realize it was you.

Sara released her grip as quickly as she did it. Baal rubbed her neck and replied:

- That's fine. I'm just glad you're not dead.

Sara knitted her eyebrows.

- What do you mean 'dead'?

- Nothing.

So then it was all just a dream. Thank archons for that. She would've started a war if Sara died. But she wasn't. Baal smiled at Sara and then exited the headquarters without any further words. When she arrived back in her palace, she noticed a note on her throne.

I am giving you a second chance to save your loved one. Use this chance wisely. Beware of what is coming.
