Somewhere out across the land, Lumine... Her unconscious body is washed ashore on a rocky coastline. Her chest feels heavy as he had been lying down face first, and as she slowly regains consciousness, the rush of a biting cold air hits her, on her legs, her back and arms and eventually towards the rest of her body. It is very dark around the area, and as she comes round by getting herself up, she can only hear and see the water rushing on the shore, which was only possible thanks to a dim moonlight perched through the clouds. The waves crashed upon the shore and then goes back out again, followed by the next wave crashing, and then one after another, it goes on endlessly as Lumine continued to sit down on the sandy and rocky ground trying to process what happened.

With each wave crashing on the shore, her flashes of memories quickly began popping up on her mind. She started to recount what happened...

"I... I remember... My brother... Everyone... I thought we're done for... That goddess bastard..." she said. "And now I'm here? Where am I?"

She stood up, struggling at first due to her muscles being partially atrophied. She began stretching her head, arms, her waist and hips down to her legs in order to push herself to walk around.

"Could my magic still work?" she thought to herself, as she proceeds to close her eyes and tries to cast Pyro magic. Sure enough, it works, and her palms began to create a small bright flame that illuminates the whole area around her. There is no one there, but using her makeshift palm torch which is her hand simply holding an open flame, she finds a small trail that leads upward away from the coast...

As she follows down the trail, being precariously cautious about accidentally setting the hedges around her alight, she notices a tall structure which resembles to be a lighthouse.

"I know what that lighthouse looks like... But it looked different than what I remember..." she said as she continued on walking through the path. She finds a piece of road and cross forward.

There are a few parked cars near the lighthouse parked on the dirt shoulder, and none of them are seen moving nearby. At first there aren't any other people seen around this area, until she finds two of the men wearing high-visibility jackets and carrying toolboxes carrying flashlights.

They were there on some routine inspections on the lighthouse that Lumine had saw, but what she didn't knew that it was closed, hence why no one other than any service personnel are in the vicinity. Seeing the two men, she knew she could ask them for directions, but she is cautious.

"I don't know what's going to happen if I speak to them.." she thought to herself. "Who knows what's going to happen if they see someone at this time of night with no explanation of why I'm here, so I'd rather not get spotted,"

She puts out her flame and decided to hide behind the shrubs as the men walk past her, waiting and waiting until she saw the men carrying toolboxes walks inside the lighthouse and closes the door behind them. Lumine makes a chance to make a run for it, running past a few parked cars on a parking lot all the way until she bumped into the playground, hitting her head in the process. She winced and groaned in pain, with her right hand holding over her bruised head to try and relieve pressure and pain, which only lasted for several seconds.

As she came to, she suddenly kicked something when it heard a clack and a bang from the metal sound as it something hit the metal pole. She slowly reaches for it and finds what appeared to be a flashlight.
