Few Hours before the D’elvanilmest University had their orientation on the students.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoCbJ1GxPk
Within the grand hall of the President’s House, a heavy silence loomed.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5CqJUDfiA
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6G5sC93UY
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzFrF2SuRI
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1QBjesiDY
Someone leaned forward, fingers steepled in contemplation.
“Do you think they believe we've broken the promise?” he asked, his tone tight with unease.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQkuQnsPa7
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?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzFYTdufCR
The air grew heavier, as if the past itself had entered the room to remind them of the cost of failure.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP2iDanRA0
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuTedURcWa
"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."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat9p3x0WuS
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ccj3PtseE
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."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeGAjVXh6N
Another official raised an eyebrow.
"Signs can be misread. What if we’re wrong? What if sending them now dooms us all?"
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVYmk0Wip
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."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vVyZwwzIf
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ3w4Epuoz
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdelngGTEai
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSGTc2Iqp6
She tapped the microphone gently.
“Good afternoon, students.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWThOPI9SSF
The noise dulled to murmurs, then fell into silence.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6n8PG8Fik
“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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvNi0dRzdl
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc1dVNrgjw
A ripple of excitement moved through the students.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaGnlYcW6M
“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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWinXvBqkBg
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6igogqDz8
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR58TlVDU8x
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53JRfIxZgi
The wind whispered across the ancient stones, carrying with it the scent of time and forgotten blood.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw1u4wGCpg
They stood still—watching. Waiting.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexJcCPIQAw
“Should we take her now?” one of them asked, his voice low and sharp, barely audible over the rustling wind.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTnbru15CA
Another figure, taller than the rest, stepped forward slightly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2hqjzmoYF
“Noh-dare! Let it be,” he replied, calm but firm. “Let her come to us.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlYi7IKFvK
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PlrxWEKee
A quiet whisper escaped from one of them.
