"Almost... *huff* there..." A pair of legs can be seen running across some dry, rocky land. In the distance, coming up fast, there is a glowing squarish shape, rotating slowly.
"One more portal and I'll be back," the voice says confidently. The legs can be seen reaching the portal, and they jump through.
In a new place, the full figure falls out of the portal, landing on her front on the floor.
"You're back. Did you get it?" a new voice asks. Their hand is outstretched to the girl on the floor.
"Mmnh... yeah." The girl holds out an object for the other to grab.
"Good job."
As the object is passed between them, a good view of it can be obtained. It is a necklace with a silver-coloured chain, two pairs of beads of two different shapes, and a translucent sphere, with something glowing inside of it.
"So, uh, Rite, what's so important about that necklace anyway?" the girl pipes up.
"As you were running through portals, that necklace was collecting."
"Collecting what?"
"Dimensional energy."
"Woah. R-really? Isn't that stuff supposed to be, like, super powerful?"
"Yes. It is. But I know that it's nowhere near as powerful as you are."
"Uh...what do you mean?"
"I've been doing this for quite a while, Fern. I'm going to need someone to replace me. I know that it not only can be, but it has to be you."
The older lady, known as Rite, looks very serious. She speaks face-to-face with Fern, no longer talking while focused on other work. "I trust you and your abilities," she speaks with purpose present in her voice to her trainee.
"Well, how soon am I expected to do this?" Fern's words have an air of concern. This new information is exhilarating, but also unfamiliar.
"When you come in tomorrow, we will begin your training." They fade out, and then only the words of Rite can be heard: "Then when you're ready, we can use the dimensional energy to locate whoever else we need."
A new but familiar place can be seen as image returns, with a more mature-looking Fern standing in the center, addressing a row of seven people. They are unidentifiable; showing only their backs.
"Hello there. Welcome to day one of your new jobs, working together. You've all been selected to do this, and you are who we need."
