Night had settled over the entire country, and the clouds were almost imperceptible - only a trained eye could have spotted them. In any case, the stars seemed unaffected by the phenomenon, appearing little by little.

The streets were plunged into deep darkness, with only a few flickering lights from torches and lanterns. Stone and half-timbered buildings stood proudly, creating a mysterious and intriguing atmosphere. You could hear the footsteps of rare passers-by, the clanking of knights' armor and even the whispers of secret intrigues. Churches and castles were illuminated, casting dancing shadows on the surrounding walls.

Somewhere in one of the greatest empires of the time, someone was strolling peacefully along the castle ramparts. This person was walking like this because she couldn't get to sleep. The reason? Only she knew.

It was so dark that it was almost impossible to make out the person's features, but it was still possible to identify her as a woman.

She looked up at the sky as if searching for something. Suddenly, her eyes lit up with a bright golden glow and the air crackled around her. This image lasted for several seconds, before she returned to normal and her eyes melted back into the darkness of the night.

Finally, as if she'd had the answer she'd been looking for, the individual turned back to where she'd come from.

Before re-entering the castle, she uttered a single sentence, one that didn't seem to have any real destination:

- It's almost the end, as soon as they arrive, she'll disappear.
