Far to the north, beyond snow-swept plains and frozen rivers, stood the Office of the Council of Clan.

From Arcadia Academy, the delegation was led by beast warrior Myra. Beside her walked Professor Kaito.
From Bighall Academy, the visitors were tense and grim, carrying the weight of loss. They had come to demand answers—and perhaps vengeance.
At the massive silver doors of the Council Hall, armored guards in black-and-red uniforms lowered their spears.
Guard Captain: "State your business."
Bighall Principal Elric stepped forward "We represent Bighall and Arcadia Academies. We seek an audience with the Council regarding the Blackstone Incident and the deaths of two of our students."
The guards exchanged glances but finally opened the gates.
The sound of heavy iron echoed as the doors swung inward.
Inside the chamber, a half-circle of Council Elders sat behind a long table.
