In the east frontlines:
"Sir, it seems like the enemy is retreating." a solder from the army speaks, He spoke in a loud tone so he can be heard clearly by his general. His general, A tall man with broad shoulders, silver hair, He stood near a tent with his arms folded on his back, starring at the sky." Thank you solder, Tell the solders to keep camp. " The solder made his salute and stepped back, then he walked away. The general thinks "I don't know the reason behind their retreat, so I should not be too quick on driving back the forces. It would be wise to hold our ground here. " As he thinks another solder comes by, running towards him, He seemed tired, and he was a bit red on his face. And he speaks " Sir, I have big news, " He paused to catch his breath, and the General looked at him. He listened attentively. " The Luminary's HQ has been destroyed, and you would not believe who is responsible for it. It was the leader of the ACE warriors, the cursed child Asher Pierce." The general quickly stood up and went inside the tent.
Meanwhile in Ignisia :
Mole is brushing Terris's feather around the soft spots on her neck. "We should go to Aquaria to look for my brothers." He paused and started thinking, "Won't I bring danger to them? I don't feel good about this. Maybe I should..." He's thoughts get disturbed by a huge thunderous sound a few paces from him, Terri starts to growl, facing the area where the explosion occurred, "What was that?" Mole was surprised by the roar of the explosion. He got on top of Terri for a quick ride. Terri understood. She ran to the place where there was an explosion. Upon his arrival, he found the place full of smoke and fire. "Why does it always have to be fires?" He gets off Terri and runs to the place burning with fire. The buildings around were catching fire; it was by luck that the supplies had not caught fire, so Mole rushed to extinguish the fires that were running wild. "Honestly, what caused this fire?" Mole runs to the centre of the fire, and he makes a strange martial arts stance. " Total concentration, extinguish." At that moment, the flames die down and the smoke gets cleared. "This is strange. What's happening here? And where is everyone?" he looks around and sees no sign of a single person, the at that moment, he realizes Terri has vanished into thin air. "What's happening here? Terri, where are you?" He runs around the area he's in, and no sign of Terri anywhere. He calls her out over and over again, running around the tower at the centre of Ignisia. After some time, he gives up running around looking for Terri. Then he sits down and asks himself, "Where could everybody be?" At that moment, a weird sensation came to him; it was like something hitting his spine. From then it went to his brain, everything felt weird, and he began to see the sky that once blue turned to black instantaneously. He wondered, "What's going on? This is weird." he turned his head left and right, and what he saw was darkness.
"Mor...s..ar " A voice comes to Mole's head. Mole could not understand what was going on, so he shouted out loud." What did you say? Is there anyone out there?" Mole's voice echoes through the darkness. " Child of Thorn, The world's Morning Star." Mole hears the voice coming from different directions, but this time he could clearly hear the words. At that moment, a green light appears right in front of him. Slowly, the light started taking shape, then a man wearing old robes with a long white beard, holding a staff as long as his body, and tall he stood," We finally meet, Mole." Mole stood there, shocked." Wow, old how do you do that? Can you teach me how to make an entrance like that?" The old man looks at him with a smile. " My name is Verdani Asher Lort. I'm a version of my past self. "
Mole is wondering what he means by a version of his past self. "Old man, what do you want from me?"
Asher Lort: I don't have much time, Mole. I'm here to let you know that the path that destiny will lead you is a painful one...
Mole: Look here, old man, I'm patient enough to listen to your speeches, so can you make everything short?
Asher Lort: Okay, Mole, Theodorus is coming, and by destiny, you will end this war.
Mole: I normally have confidence in this type of staff, but do you think I'm invisible?
Asher Lort: You're actually not weak, Mole. You have allies; it might not seem like it now, but everything will make sense. If this is the right time. Everything is in place for you. All you have to do is start your journey.
Asher Lort starts to emit green light.
Mole: Your body is glowing again. Are you going to vanish?
Asher Lort: Yes, Mole, I am about to vanish, and one last thing, say hello to Emeralok for me.
Mole looks at Asher Lort as he disappears with the green light, and the darkness that filled the sky begins to vanish. Mole suddenly comes back to his senses, and he sees himself brushing Terri. "Huh? What's going on here? Was everything just a dream?" Oarkborn comes to Mole. "So where are you heading from now?"
Mole: Hey, Oarkborn, do you believe in destiny?
Oarkborn: Do you?
Mole: I don't know anymore.
Oarkborn: whether I believe or not, it doesn't matter, you alone should know whether you believe or not, you write your own destiny. I'm glad this time you were able to call me by my name.
Mole: About what you ask, I'm going back to Greenland's.
Oarkborn: Okay, be careful, Mole, you're in constant danger, should you know.
Mole gets on top of Terri, "I will be careful".
Then Mole starts riding Terri as he rides to his destination.
