*****************


In a very colorless region of the Northern Territories, there was an ancient, complex structure composed of several caves. They were all connected by a massive area resembling the inside of a dormant volcano, with an incredibly lush forest covering its floor, and a permanent night sky showing through the large opening in the roof. The moonlight was enough to illuminate it, but not the many tunnels that connected it to other areas.

One of those other areas was a chamber with long, gray stone walls and floors. There was an exit on either side, one with an intricately-carved stone slab, and the other side with a blue-gray stone door. There were a couple of training dummies set up inside, with sand-filled bodies and old armor. Some old wooden targets were also stacked in the corner.

"Hyah!"

Kita Rein swung her dark sword against one of the dummies, but only hit the armor. She groaned and kept attacking, trying to land a perfect hit on a weak point.

'RIP!'

Finally, Kita was able to hit the narrow space between the chest and stomach pieces, tearing into the dummy. Sand began to pour out rapidly. The sylph stepped back, fixing her cyan dress and short, dark violet hair, which had a cherry red fade in the back.

There was clapping from nearby, and Kita blinked hard, breaking from her self-induced trance. She hadn't even realized that someone entered through the stone slab, which opened by the command of a basic magic charm. The visitor was only her good friend, Seyber, with her lavender hair and blue, pink, and white dress.
