Surfacing From the Depth
Intro: In a grassy field, far outside the northern gate and the wide arena of Jelfyr, a noble gazes at the walled kingdom. A smoke has stolen his attention. He finds his servant cooking, using a pot above the stones. As he begins to walk, a crow lands nearby. It grows while its form changes. Its feathers shrink back to its skin. Its mutation results to a nude man who speaks, "Everything is gone as expected. Jaino has his operation commenced. How's your side?"
"Still alive after we managed to fool the assassins that had been chasing on us yesterday."
"About your cousin?"
"About her? I still doubt the evidence that I gathered. But, it might really be too late for me." He quiets. He gazes down. His index finger he presses to his forehead. His face buries on his palms. His hands run at the back of his head. His mouth gusts his dismay, worry, and frustration. "I don't know if I should give up right now... The only thing I could hope for is the kingdom can prevail this crisis. The third, I hope for him to be victorious."
"Sir, don't give up the search for your cousin. The state of her being must be existed. I won't stop until it is proven. The time I retire to this case is after justice is given."
He gazes at the nude man. "I'm grateful to have known you Mike."
"About your entrance to the kingdom, some members of the third division are waiting for you at the gate."
"Mike, thank you very much for your hard work."
End of Intro.
Inside a wide room, containing an elevated circular platform, having five bridges leading to the emptiness, the eyes-closed old man, Eladin, speaks to a man, cloaked in black, "Have you discovered any traitor in my domain?"
"All of them have shown no sign of any suspicious activity."
"How about the update of Jesifer's whereabouts?"
"She had been sighted outside the south of Jelfyr. Accompanied by a woman, they were investigating about the huge ice in the wide plain. After that her whereabouts is unknown. Currently, the Marshal is commencing a search for her yet still unproductive."
"I see... That's good to hear."
"My lord, despite the kingdom is aware of our plan. Why are we still going to continue?"
"We don't have any chance left. Our time is at fleeing. We must take action before everything is too late. Call our diversions, we shall now awaken my dearest grandchild." He groans with minimal sound and he speaks to the man who has noticed, "Go now."
And the man in black walks with haste to the door.
In Jelfyr, the units waiting in their expecting place have seen the spark in the air.
In the Northwest wall, Olyn Tebassak, approaches and halts a distance far from the spark, scattering in the air and turning to shining light.
The disappearance of the bright light leaves a huge norim, a lusus, who wields a giant toothed blade.
Only one person yet a lusus... This is quite difficult on my side, has thought by Olyn. He calls, "You there, can I ask you where is Eladin?"
The lusus observes at the young man. "Eladin..." He smiles maliciously. "Who knows?" He laughs a loud. "Maybe his obsession with his grandchild had made him took the life of your current ruler."
In the central of Jelfyr: outside the south bridge, leading to the sharp tall tower of Jelfyr: Taila, watching at the four images in the midair, speaks to Jaino, "It appears only one person on each area has arrived. No old man has been found either. Are you certain we couldn't handle this?"
