Hathaway walked through the lightless city, her wide white robe fluttering in the wind, beside her were ancient buildings built with massive stones.
There was no sun, nor the light of stars or the Silver Moon.
Only a few Luminous Ores were embedded atop the ancient stone pillars, becoming the sole light source of this world.
"Is that... Elder Hathaway?"
"Elder Hathaway... Is she the Ninth Elder of the Tower Council Hall who rarely appeared, unexpectedly out in the open?"
"I had only heard of her name in legends before, never thought I'd see the real person from the history books today."
"I heard from a Forest Elf lineage Elder that she's always been obsessed with exploring the forbidden outside world, and that she'd bring misfortune upon the Royal Court sooner or later..."
"I also heard similar rumors from my elders... Clearly, no one cares about those things, our current life is already abundant enough."
"Shh, speak with caution—don't you know about the elder's perception?"
