Few Hours before the D’elvanilmest University had their orientation on the students.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxkmThEVPN
Within the grand hall of the President’s House, a heavy silence loomed.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9SLO4j50A
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH5hFZ5J4n
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhbAtci0vn
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX0uctvfS3
Someone leaned forward, fingers steepled in contemplation.
“Do you think they believe we've broken the promise?” he asked, his tone tight with unease.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuVTKZFx8H
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?”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F9q2jaGC9
The air grew heavier, as if the past itself had entered the room to remind them of the cost of failure.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbi9wYGaCL
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjhR4jaDNY
"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."
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfbPOu0Ua9
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGBHXWbykN
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."
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU2jEhf6hT
Another official raised an eyebrow.
"Signs can be misread. What if we’re wrong? What if sending them now dooms us all?"
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9IVnyYZoK
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."

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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreiipaKG06
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOPNyCG8av
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkczy283M7
She tapped the microphone gently.
“Good afternoon, students.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOqrQZzA0y
The noise dulled to murmurs, then fell into silence.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl1DXMOqV3
“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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq94sCeYQGf
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuyvtGVPhO
A ripple of excitement moved through the students.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvy6Gsb3jf
“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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYELO0WEJ5
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla3BwHU4YK
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.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGR64xPMV1
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.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW3z0cybpK
The wind whispered across the ancient stones, carrying with it the scent of time and forgotten blood.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCpq4G3WKZ
They stood still—watching. Waiting.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEsnAODWMM
“Should we take her now?” one of them asked, his voice low and sharp, barely audible over the rustling wind.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhscGCCw7XB
Another figure, taller than the rest, stepped forward slightly.
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUPojBKOpc
“Noh-dare! Let it be,” he replied, calm but firm. “Let her come to us.”
13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0o6rehjyE
A third voice, quiet and cold, agreed.
“Rhykar is right. Let her see what truly happened with her own eyes.”

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.

A quiet whisper escaped from one of them.
