Strong tidal waves splashed around as a storm raged overhead.

Powerful wind cut through waves and brought great disturbance in the sea, making it near impossible for any ship to sail.

Amidst this very chaos, there sailed a battleship.

A ship so mighty that even from astronomical nautical miles, it would be visible.

A ship so strong that even the strongest of waves could not wreck it.

A ship so sturdy that even the greatest of storms could be withstood easily.

The ship was sailing smoothly despite the turbulent flows and the reason for that was a single person.

This person sat calmly in his study, reading some papers under an oil lamp.

The bright golden hair shone in the light emitted from the lamp and his white shirt was dyed with an orangish hue.

It was just another normal day for the blonde man and with nothing unusual happening, he continued to read his papers and did some light work.

While he was at it, the door of his study creaked open and there appeared a middle-ages butler with gray sideburns.

Bowing slightly, the butler said, "Master, we are just three hours away from Brinks Harbor."

The blonde man nodded his head lightly. "There's a meeting with the Duke and the King. I'm planning to skip it."

The butler's expression stiffened and a shocked look appeared on his face.

"Surely you must be joking." The butler responded with an awkward smile.

"I'm not." The blonde man said, totally unfazed.

The butler's expression turned grave. "Master Sebastian, I hope you're not forgetting the importance of this meeting. Not only yours, but half the world's fate rests on your shoulder. If something goes wrong here, the providence you'd accumulate would not be washed away even if you spent nine lives."

The blonde man, being none other than Sebastian, the first Chosen One, was currently having a serious conversation with his trusted butler.

It was only this man who could talk like that to Sebastian as he was really respected by him.

Sebastian always took consideration of his opinion and less than a butler, this man was more of an uncle figure to him.

Due to personal reasons, Sebastian was not planning on attending the meeting with the King and the Duke, but the last sentence from the butler made him pause and reconsider the things.

"Sebastian, Anne, Tsuki, and Lith… If you're hearing this, then hurry up! Hurry up and inject your powers into this artifact." A familiar girl's rushed voice was heard.

"Ariel?"

"Hurry! Don't question anything and hurry if you don't want to lose your life. I'll tell you guys everything once you're here."

With that, the voice was gone, leaving behind a dumbfounded Sebastian and his butler.

Sebastian turned to look at his butler and said, "Right as I was planning to attend the meeting, this thing came up. I haven't told you about this, but just know that it is much more important than the fate of this world's population, Marco."

The butler sighed and bowed slightly. "I'll do something about the King and the Duke then, Master. You need not worry and carry out your due business."

Sebastian nodded. "Then, if you'll excuse me."

…..

Dushkarbor.

Lith had halted in his tracks and was about to attend the meeting that was scheduled, but right then, the cross earring that he usually wore, it began giving out a burning sensation.

The feeling of death intensified with the burning sensation and right then, Lith heard:

"Sebastian, Anne, Tsuki, and Lith… If you're hearing this, then hurry up! Hurry up and inject your powers into this artifact."

'Huh?' Lith knitted his brows and showed a confused expression. 'Is that Ariel?'

"Ariel? Is that you?" Lith couldn't help but ask.

Right then, a reply came almost instantly.

"Hurry! Don't question anything and hurry if you don't want to lose your life. I'll tell you guys everything once you're here."

Feeling totally taken aback by this sudden situation, Lith had no clue as to what was even happening

He wasn't the type to take impulsive decisions and do things on the spot, but given the gravity of the situation, he knew that he had to decide quickly.

This Ariel that Lith knew of, she was super smart and probably an angel too. He wasn't much sure of the latter part, but the former was a hundred percent true.

Ariel was also really reserved and barely spoke. He could count the sentences she had said in total on one hand when he had met her in Novolzak's trial.

For her to speak so desperately spoke volumes and Lith's priority immediately shifted to this.

Lith held the cross earring in between his fingers and thinking that he had to go, was about to inject his spiritual power and leave when…

A sudden ominous feeling made him shudder.

'What in the actual fuck? I felt scared for a second? How!?'
