The moon hung low over the mountains of Tenryoku, casting silver light upon a vast, sleeping kingdom. Whispers of an ancient prophecy drifted through the winds, passing over temples and villages, weaving through the trees of sacred forests until they reached the quiet shrine hidden deep within the woods.
In that place, untouched by time, a stone artifact sat at the shrine's heart-a relic of untold power and mystery, waiting for the one destined to awaken it.
Centuries had passed since anyone dared to disturb the artifact, and its story had faded into legend. But the prophecy remained, etched in whispers, a warning and a promise: "When darkness rises and the stars fall silent, an Emissary shall be called from another world to restore the light."
Far from this world, in a bustling modern city, seventeen-year-old Ai Tanaka was oblivious to her fate. She couldn't have imagined that a single, seemingly innocent touch would draw her into a kingdom bound by myth and shadow. She couldn't have known that soon, her heart and courage would be tested beyond anything she'd dreamed.
Yet, as the wind grew still, the artifact pulsed with life, a quiet beacon reaching across the void. Somewhere, Ai's journey was about to begin.
