[Kingdom of Luminara - Prince's Court. Some time has passed with no sign of Prince Zaos Dralguth's return. Akasa St.Clair waits patiently for his return. However, each passing minute only serves to fuel her anxiety. As the fires continue to rage in the distance as the fighting continues, a cloaked figure approaches from afar]

Akasa St.Clair: [aside] I am sensing two approaching, but where is the other?


[The cloaked figure comes to a stop, slowly lowering their hood. It is Nightveil. She is masked and is holding one of her elvish blades within her right hand, it is stained with dried blood]


[to Nightveil] I've had enough of these masks for one night! I know there are two of you! show yourself!


[Nightveil turns her head to the left, as if to look at somebody, before turning her attention back to Akasa St.Clair, a muffled voice from beneath the mask responds]


Nightveil: As you wish.


[The mask over Nightveil's face begins to dissipate, revealing her to be an elf to Akasa St.Clair]


Akasa St.Clair: Le edhel?!

{You're an elf?!}


Nightveil: Im Faergil, i 'wanathron aníra.

{I am Nightveil, The Constructor's will}


[Akasa St.Clair recalls Malaika refer to the one who had enslaved his will as 'The Constructor' earlier, she now knows that she is dealing with another who intends her great harm]


Akasa St.Clair: Another puppet hiding behind a mask, your master was wise to send two of you this time.


Nightveil: E tîr si aen na linnad. [looking once more to the left, as if to acknowledge his presence]

{He is only here to report}


Akasa St.Clair: [aside] he?


[Akasa St.Clair suddenly begins to feel light headed, her vision begins to go blurry as her blood runs cold. She fights the nauseating sensations that rush over her, steadying her focus as a heavy and powerful aura begins to manifest beside Nightveil. 

Enter The Shadow Seeker as he takes physical form before her very eyes, drapped in a shadowy and tattered cloak, only concealing a further darkness within. Akasa St.Clair exerts a tremendous amount of willpower to not succumb to the intensity of its energy]

The Shadow Seeker: You have done well to resist our wile! 


Akasa St.Clair: [To Nightveil] Our worlds may exist on the same plain, but only a fool calls forth on its darkness!
