I had to stay focused. This was no ordinary mission.

The new King of Golden Lurmus sent some of his best guards to join me. Juvin and I had spent days gathering every scrap of information about the Ultimatum crystal. Harpher, ever loyal, provided maps, patrol schedules, and details of the defenses.

But he also gave me two warnings.
First - the vault was guarded by a powerful guardian fairy, unlike any I had faced before.
Second - there was something... strange about the crystal. A secret even the fairy realm itself didn't speak of.

Our plan was simple.
The guards would stage an attack at the first gate, drawing every defender's attention. During the chaos, Juvin and I would slip through and reach the vault.

When the moment came, the guards charged the gate in a blaze of steel and magic. The distraction worked - alarms flared, and the defenders rushed to meet them. Juvin and I moved like shadows through the empty corridors, our steps echoing off the ancient marble.

We reached the vault.
And the guardian fairy was waiting.

Her wings shimmered like shards of glass in sunlight, but her strength was terrifying. I barely held my ground - until Juvin activated his newest invention. A sphere of freezing mist engulfed her, locking her in place, her eyes still blazing with fury even in the ice.

I stepped forward and unlocked the vault door.

What we saw made my heart stop.
The crystal... was in two pieces.

One half rested inside the vault.
The other - Harpher's intelligence had never mentioned this - was in the possession of the Elderly herself.

It was already too late.
The guards' diversion had failed. They were captured.

With the palace on high alert, Juvin and I activated Plan B. Harpher had prepared a stealth escape route, waiting for us at the edge of the realm with a small skycraft. We slipped aboard and sped away, heading straight to Saturnal.

This time, I decided to bring the fight to my own world.

And that was the last page written by Galoth.

Lumi sat in silence, staring at the old journal. Her hands trembled. Her entire life, she had believed Morvena was the greatest threat to the Dream Realm - the monster to fear, the enemy to defeat.
356Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeStnbNVAM
But the truth was different.
Morvena was not the true enemy.

Lumi closed the book. Her heart hardened with a new purpose.
She would save Morvena... and make Lex face justice.
