As the crashing of waves blended with the noise of men and the creaking of wood,
The three of us stood there in silence, lost in our own thoughts.
Then, without any of us noticing…
The moment arrived.
"Time to go embarrass yourself. Good luck."
I gave Snow a light slap on the back.
He waved us off, dragging his feet as he walked away.

After long hours of preparation and final checks…
The Empire's First Fleet was finally ready.
As the soldiers boarded their ships,
Those vessels became like massive beasts ... Ready to carve a path through the sea toward war.
The hum of magical engines, The roar of soldiers ..
All of it blended together in a thunderous harmony that shook the sky above.
But before the campaign could officially begin…
A single young man climbed to the mast of one of the fleet's largest ships.
From there, his golden eyes looked down on everything.
Snow Lionheart.
His white hair danced in the wind as he stood at the peak.
