Somewhere in the world, Pankratios Cave.
"…"
Kiernan sat on the stone throne, patting the sleeping Fen in his lap, and gazed out at the glittering cave walls.
He was planning to take Fen with him because Dead World apparently was the birthplace of Magical Beasts and there might be some unexpected surprises for them there.
The rest of the Martial Orders slowly arrived in the cave, ready to go at a moment's notice.
"…It looks like everyone has arrived."
Pankratios said.
They looked at each other.
Julian was sitting alone by the corner.
He wasn't joining the expedition and was going to stay behind in the cave to take care of it.
"Where are we going now, Old King?"
Valerian asked.
"…Outside."
Pankratios walked to the stone door of the cave and pushed it open. It surprised every member of the order.
They had never been allowed to go outside the cave.
With sunlight seeping through the open door, they stepped out of the cave and saw hilly fields covered in green grass.
