The immortal world of Skydrim was a place where time moved differently, where the light shimmered with a celestial glow, and the air hummed with quiet power. Inside the vast, crystal-clear hall, Chunhwa stood waiting for Soraichi and Seoyeon to arrive. His usual calm demeanor was tinged with concern, something rarely seen in the strategist.


As they entered, both men could immediately sense the tension in Chunhwa's posture.


"I encountered something disturbing yesterday," Chunhwa began, his voice grave. 

"A spirit. But not just any spirit... this one came from the Dark World."


Soraichi, ever the decisive leader, didn't hesitate. " I'll send Nien to investigate. We need to know more about this."


Seoyeon, who was equally quick to respond, added, "I'll send Mayu, my team's captain, to assist."


Chunhwa's brow furrowed as he thought of other key players. 

"We should also inform Hayan. He needs to be aware. As for Hwalin, he's distracted with a mortal girl at the moment. I think we'll have to tell him later."


Soraichi's eyes narrowed, his mind already racing ahead. "We can't afford any delays. Let's move."

In the mortal world, Nien and Mayu had been sent to investigate the troubling reports of a dark spirit. Kaede also join them. As they walked through the bustling city streets, Nien couldn't help but feel out of place. 


He was more accustomed to the serene world of Skydrim, where everything was in balance, and the pace was slower. But here, surrounded by the chaos of mortal life, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.


It was then that Xinyu appeared, flashing a wide grin. Xinyu was a friend of both Kaede and Mayu, though she had no idea of their true identities. She was carefree, always ready with a flirtatious remark.


"Oh, hey, Kae, Mayu," Xinyu greeted the two girls. Her eyes then landed on Nien.
