At the same time, the Ember Crown Empire started making moves. They sent three elder priests to look into the loss of one holy priest that was sent to Zaja's wedding.
Zaja dealt with this problem by creating an even bigger one.
Firstly, while King Percival and Lady Elyria kept the investigators and high priests busy, Zaja used his skills to sneak into the great country of the motherland and entered their highly esteemed vaults.
There he found even more Red Veil Arcane Beasts, three mighty and powerful ones. Using his Shadow Sovereign Flame mutation, he was able to subdue them just enough to put them in hibernation, stealing them.
This was bad enough in its own, but he also stole the country's two most valuable Special Grade weapons. The Playful Star and Atlas Staff, both weapons beared immense power and was highly respected by the higher ups in the country.
