Somewhere far from Division grounds…250Please respect copyright.PENANA2i8PuLYf3m
In a dim-lit room, a glass vial of crimson shimmered — Luce Moretti’s blood.250Please respect copyright.PENANAoEbkk71vcR
Yuriko Kurogane turned it slowly in her hand, lips curved into a dangerous smile.
Behind her stood Rokuro Kurogane, the man who had once been feared across the battlefield… and her father-in-law.
They were a nightmare pairing — Rokuro’s battle-hardened madness matched with Yuriko’s colder, more calculated insanity.250Please respect copyright.PENANAfib9yiPCSK
If he was a storm, she was the hurricane that followed.
Rokuro: “You stole the blood of Moretti for this? i thought its for Sleeping Gate.”250Please respect copyright.PENANAwgh0Ce8YUc
Yuriko: “I stole it to win. And I intend to win a war you’ll enjoy fighting.”
Division of Order — Ravenfall Dorm #17250Please respect copyright.PENANARaSYdgkGoZ
Better known these days as Dorm of the Dead.
Three bodies — Ishaan, Veer, and Dev — sprawled lifelessly across furniture, papers stuck to their faces. Not actual corpses, just… the victims of 8-hour theory classes and soul-crushing homework.
Ishaan (groaning): “Mission… mission… give… me… mission…”
The door creaked open.250Please respect copyright.PENANAeVII8ur3xY
Avni stepped in, instantly recoiling.250Please respect copyright.PENANAtygLGA1sdF
Avni: “What… happened in here? Did someone gas you all?”
Ishaan, pale as chalk, dragged himself across the floor like a zombie.250Please respect copyright.PENANAi5iJRZQdYg
Veer followed, mumbling something about “Freedom.”
From the couch, Lev, Raiden, and Erik glanced up.
Lev: “Careful, Avni. They’re contagious.”250Please respect copyright.PENANAFWIAMNy0yh
Erik: “Yeah… last time we gave him a mission, he—”250Please respect copyright.PENANAkLYm5e0Mef
Raiden: “—screamed like he was being mugged by ghosts.”
They immediately started mimicking Ishaan’s infamous last mission meltdown from their Shadow Division days — flailing arms, overdramatic shrieks, and collapsing into chairs.
Meanwhile…250Please respect copyright.PENANAUzAAvjp4Pz
In the far corner, Sayaka and Luce were in their own little world, sharing quiet words and soft kisses.
A sudden bright light washed over them.250Please respect copyright.PENANARaeoiv04wC
Ishaan & Veer (under a flashlight): “Ooooo… Ghost of the Shadow Division… come to warn youuu…”
They didn’t get far.250Please respect copyright.PENANA9CCIf5noze
Luce’s foot connected.250Please respect copyright.PENANAjWEpxZjLxi
Ishaan rolled across the floor like a dropped barrel.250Please respect copyright.PENANAO4Zr4mFNK1
Nobody else even looked up — this was now a weekly event.
Ishaan (groaning from the floor): “We’re Division of Order without orders… Bro, I’ve lost my sanity…”
Luce studied them all. The once razor-sharp edge of Ravenfall’s spirit was dulled by endless lectures.250Please respect copyright.PENANAGYfoXm4nNu
That wouldn’t do.
Luce: “Pack your things. We’re going to my place.”
That got a spark out of them.250Please respect copyright.PENANAGzLEAzlIyS
By the time they reached Moretti Mansion, Ishaan was practically skipping.
They played pool, destroyed any sense of sportsmanship, and relentlessly tormented Kaz (Luce’s butler) and the chef. Kaz’s cries of “Not the vase again—!” echoed through the halls, only encouraging them more.
It was chaotic, stupid, and exactly what they needed.
Late into the night, Luce’s phone buzzed.250Please respect copyright.PENANAG0JqHTHwnY
The name on the screen: Sylus.
Sylus: “Come to my office, Ravenfall. We need to talk.”
Luce’s brow furrowed. Sylus wasn’t one to casually summon people.250Please respect copyright.PENANAGAJlRzBlvc
Something was off.
