In the barren land where Salem called home, there stood a castle.

A mysterious figure walked through the dimly lit corridors of the desolate palace, filling the silence with hums and footsteps. His clothes defied Remnant’s fashion and his blue-ish, rotten, patchwork skin resembled that of a zombie.

The figure had a humanoid silhouette with a head, arms, and legs. Yet one thing was clear: it wasn't human.

“Jogo and Hanami are already in Remnant~” the figure mused, a sinister smile on his dead lips. “I wonder when Dagon will arrive?”

His hair, nails, and tattered clothing reeked of malice; sort of like a beacon for negative energy to gather. The figure was too human to be a creature of Grimm although it had enough qualities to be mistaken for such.

“Mahito,” called Salem, her voice cutting through the corridors. She glared at the figure, her brows furrowed. Mahito’s smile faded as he turned to face her.

His gaze met hers, but he turned back to the window, unwilling to endure another nagging session.

“I know what I’m doing,” Mahito said, his eyes fixed on the barren landscape outside. “This plan will work, Salem. Have some faith.”

“This is your idea of a plan? It’s reckless. What do you hope to achieve with such a blatant attack on Beacon?” Salem's voice was cold, her patience was running thin.
