Barbarian Cave, Mirror World.
At the top floor of the Cloud Tower, there is a locked room.
Inside the room, the windows are tightly shut, making the already dim space even more profound.
The only light source in the room is a Crystal Ball embedded in the center of the floor, occasionally emitting a ghostly blue glow, adding a layer of cold light to the silence.
In the flickering ghostly blue light, one can vaguely see Rhein sitting cross-legged beside the Crystal Ball, eyes tightly closed.
This serene atmosphere had persisted for several days, until today, when a movement began under the closed eyelids, and approximately five minutes later, Rhein finally opened his eyes.
"Hoo..."
Rhein let out a long breath of turbid air, and the silent space came alive with this breath. The extinguished candlesticks and fires on the wall, by the long table, and in the fireplace reignited with bright flames.
