Thick gray fog surrounds their shadowy manor,making it gloomier and darker than before. The place, were once desolated centuries ago. No one dared to enter such a creepy place for even the sun forbid it's light to shine it's rays to this godforsaken land. But, for this men who desire great power take this spine-chilling place as their perfect sanctuary,calling themselves as the notorious "elite phantoms", spreading darkness to other peaceful lands, committing evil deeds, showing how superior they are to the non-magic wielder humans,to sprite, fairies, dryads,even the magical animal creatures feared their existence.
Inside the manor, a man wearing a white mask that covers his face entirely stood still near the window. Black colored paint were painted on the part of the mask's eyes concealing the man's real ones. A shade of violet shadowed the outline of the upper part and the side of the eyes. Below the mask's painted eyes, a thin violet hue were sketch, making it to look like tears falling from the eyes. Standing near at the large window, He is gazing outside even if thick fog covers most of the part outside. Hazy smoke suddenly appear behind him.It became thicker until it takes a form of a human. It's face were hidden behind a hood. The creature wears a long ragged coat that reach up to its ankles, it's edges were tattered. It bow down to its knees and said," My Lord, I finally found the vessel's whereabouts.
The masked man turn his head to the hooded creature," it's been a long time, well done slave. Now go and bring the vessel to me".
The creature revert back to its smoky form and dissolve slowly.
The door open all of a sudden when the creature dissaper. Another member of the Elite Phantoms comes in, walking towards the masked man.
"I've heard your slave already found Shinsei Fleur's location. Is it true?"
A dark brown haired young man said, staring intently at the masked man. He just stare back at the young man not answering him.
" I did not come here to have a staring contest at you Masquerade,. Is it true?"
" I did not know eavesdropping was your thing, Raven Serre."
Masquerade's reply pissed Raven more. An inaudible groan escape his lips while shifting his weight in his left foot,arm cross in his chest. Masquerade chuckle under his mask.
" Soon... very soon Raven, we'll have her."
Raven roll his eyes, discontented with his answer. Walking back towards the door, he glance back attempting to say something but close his mouth and walk out slamming the door shut. Masquerade turn back his attention in the window, amused by his comrade's reaction. Muffled chuckle were faintly heard in him while his masked face devoid with emotion.
