It has been two years since the defeat of Arktivus Brevon at the hands of Sash Lilac, Carol Tea, and Milla Basset. The planet of Avalice is at peace, and yet Lord Brevon's shadow still clings to this planet like a dying cancer, striking fear into the hearts of those who believe he may one day return. The capital lands of Shang-Tu, Shuigang, and Shang-Mu have created a weary peace treaty in the hopes of healing the scars caused by the Invasion. Supplies from Shang-Mu and Shang-Tu have been routed to Shuigang to aid the newly crowned King in repairing his home. Shuigang is not my place of residence anymore, but it still holds a special place in my heart. It was my home, and so I must aid it however I can. A group of Spectrum Chasers, the faction rebelling against Lord Brevon, have decided to stay on the planet, inducting Avalice into the Spectrum Chaser Corps. However, all is not as well as it seems. Spectrum Chaser engineers and data analysts have come to Shang-Tu with worrisome news. Energy waves matching the patterns of slip-space technology (something I have little knowledge of) have been observed within the atmosphere of Avalice. I fear that this may mean that Brevon has returned, or is planning to do so soon. I have brought up my worries with my fellow Royal Guard, Neera-Li. She says that we can only hope for the best and do what we can. I see the wisdom in her words.
