It was a dark and cold night. Even though it was summer, the air was chill, cloudy, and devoid of any stars. One would think that it would rain soon. But no rain was formed yet. No thunder. No lighting. Just darkness.

In the ally of the streets, a figure dressing up in a cloak with strange and sinister looking language was looking both ways before heading to a suspicious looking metal door. After knocking it a few times, a peep hole opened, revealing an eye of someone who guards the inside.

"Password?" The guard asked.

"Eclipse." Answered the other.

The door was then opened and the figure was allowed in. After bowing, the figure walked inside where there are candles lit up on the walls. On the walls were also wall artworks of what looks like a demonic looking bird. It showed that it was hovering above the land while a solar eclipse is shown above the skies. The figure marveled at the drawings before reaching towards the destination.

A large open room that is similar to that of a church. But it is much different and shows the same bird above but larger. The figure arrived and waited till another came to that person. It was another figured person. But unlike the others who are the same, this one had a medallion with a black sun on it with a serpent looking eye.

"Welcome, my sister. You were wise to choose this path." Said the leader.

The figure knew they were not related, but she didn't care about that. "I wish to show the world what our true god is."

"And your wish will be granted. Please. Take a seat." The leader instructed. The female member bowed and sat down. She, like the others, waited till the leader was on the main stage and raised both his hands for attention. He then spoke.

"My brothers and sister. I am grateful that our number have grown over the last few years. And more importantly, it brings me great joy that you all have put your faith onto our god, Tenumbra. For too long we were forced to live among the many weak and simple minded. Forced to live among those fools who believe in other entities. They have chosen the path of ruin. But here, here we will have power. The day our god rises will be the day our glorious land be blessed by him. We will achieve a power far surpassing that of a mere mortal. Power that will bring the strong to their throne, and the weak parishes. We have waited for so long. And now, our patience have finally paid off. For we have found the key."

The group mummered over this revelation. The leader then reveal a picture in a projector, showing Neo Phoenix. He then continued. "This boy is the key. His name is Neo Phoenix. I want you all to work as one to find this boy and bring him here, alive. With him at our possession, our mighty god will be free. And with our god, we will cleanse this world of the foolish and ignorant! And we will be conquer death and beyond! ALL HAIL TENUMBRA, THE DARK PHOENIX!"

The rest of them members raised their hands and chanted all together. "ALL HAIL TENUMBRA! ALL HAIL TENUMBRA! ALL HAIL TENUMBRA!"
