Few Hours before the D’elvanilmest University had their orientation on the students.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5vTEKPLaC
Within the grand hall of the President’s House, a heavy silence loomed.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudbbdI1VLV
The long, rectangular table stretched across the room like a cold spine of authority. Seated around it were the realm's highest officials, each cloaked in layers of duty, history, and unspoken fear.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZtYZz2RNk
An elderly man, his voice gravelly with the weight of years, finally broke the silence.
“I believe it’s time… we send the chosen young ones.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmrqAqlchD
A murmur passed through the room, followed by a solemn nod from another official.
“Yes. It has been five centuries since the last group was sent.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOFXekB7WU
Someone leaned forward, fingers steepled in contemplation.
“Do you think they believe we've broken the promise?” he asked, his tone tight with unease.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL9nDrXumS
A younger voice, sharper and less patient, cut through the room.
“And what if something happens to them just like what happened seven millennia ago? Are we really willing to forget that?”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxtTyjOAxw
The air grew heavier, as if the past itself had entered the room to remind them of the cost of failure.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCAQjnkQ4T
The president, a stern woman with brown-streaked hair and eyes that had seen the rise and fall of many eras, finally spoke. Her voice was calm, but every syllable rang with quiet authority.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxOMgvQxLm
"We did not forget."
She looked around the table, her gaze piercing.
"But fear has ruled us long enough. The prophecy was clear when the veil thins and the stars align, we must act. That time is now."
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFRCXPHkMM
A heavy silence followed, thick with memories no one wanted to recall. The incident seven millennia ago had left scars unseen, but never fully healed. An entire generation lost to the unknown. Promises shattered. Trust broken. But the pact had never been erased.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAWbYq1E98
The eldest Keeper, cloaked in deep blue robes that shimmered faintly like the night sky, shifted in his seat.
"The young ones this time… they're different. Stronger. Sharper. They were born under the Crescent Eclipse. The signs are all there."
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg22Sbglua6
Another official raised an eyebrow.
"Signs can be misread. What if we’re wrong? What if sending them now dooms us all?"
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vPdxIWwKs
The president stood, placing both hands firmly on the polished table.
"And what if waiting damns us worse?" she countered.
"We do not have the luxury of certainty anymore. The cracks in the veil are widening. The Other Realm is waiting."
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkg0NWdWIL
Murmurs rippled through the room once more, but this time, there was no protest. Only dread. And resolve.

A thousand miles away, under the blinding glow of fluorescent lights and the steady hum of excitement, the gymnasium of Nixon State University was alive with chatter.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCD6Ueb34J
Students from every department filled the bleachers, their voices a wave of curiosity and speculation. Banners with the university’s crest hung high above the court, swaying slightly from the ceiling fans. The air was electric not from a game, but from something far more unexpected.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPgybmoUIw
At the center of the gym stood a wooden podium bearing the university’s seal. Behind it, flanked by a few deans and faculty members, stood President Alondra Reyes, a composed woman in her fifties, with a kind smile and commanding presence.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvhnymaL7g
She tapped the microphone gently.
“Good afternoon, students.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm2NmGfrQK
The noise dulled to murmurs, then fell into silence.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAh1BWCNsl
“Today marks the beginning of something extraordinary. For the first time in our university’s history, we are launching an elite, full-sponsored international exchange program.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdTtBKwSjZ
She paused, letting the words sink in.
“One department from all the colleges and it's Students will be selected. Those chosen will represent Nixon State University in a cross-cultural academic collaboration with one of the oldest universities in the world.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw450RZXjA
A ripple of excitement moved through the students.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60JxO733PN
“This program will challenge you not only academically but personally. You will learn, grow, and serve as ambassadors not just of our school, but of our country.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4sN3poMIU
Students began whispering among themselves. Some eyes lit with hope. Others narrowed with suspicion. Only a few noticed that near the back of the gym, a tall man in a black coat stood observing silently. Unmoving. Unknown.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy42JUi60C
President Reyes continued, unaware of the silent observer.
“The names of the selected students will be announced in three days. Until then, keep your hearts open… and your minds prepared.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLB3oMV7pX
Applause erupted. But somewhere in the rafters of the gym, beneath the ordinary sounds of celebration, something ancient stirred unseen, but drawing closer.

Meanwhile, along the border of the realms standing stones, where the mist clung to the earth like restless spirits, seven figures stood shrouded in black cloaks.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNj1GU666a
The wind whispered across the ancient stones, carrying with it the scent of time and forgotten blood.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbGaxVQNbE
They stood still—watching. Waiting.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf61IZdOJJ
“Should we take her now?” one of them asked, his voice low and sharp, barely audible over the rustling wind.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMgouOujWB
Another figure, taller than the rest, stepped forward slightly.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyG6GZ7YQH
“Noh-dare! Let it be,” he replied, calm but firm. “Let her come to us.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzhSXn0KZG
A third voice, quiet and cold, agreed.
“Rhykar is right. Let her see what truly happened with her own eyes.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWTd8LG8Tt
Meanwhile, in the Earth Realm, a group of students stepped off a bus, their eyes widening with awe and curiosity as they gazed at the forcefield a shimmering border that seemed to separate their world from another.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIzCM0XXXW
A quiet whisper escaped from one of them.
