March 30, 1229 of the Ziyun Era. Deep in the night.

A huge creature swept through the night like a gust of wind into the skies above the Chu royal city, directly above the Chu royal household. As the huge creature paused in the sky, a forceful order came from above its back, "Down!"
Immediately, the creature broke through the clouds, going straight down towards the Chu royal household. As the clouds spread, a majestic condor appeared, its wings spreading to more than eight meters wide. The bird's body was a pale green, its eyes ashen grey. Soon. it had landed in the open courtyard of the Chu royal household.
"Who?!"
"Who is it?!"

The sound of the condor landing was loud enough for the patrolling guards to be alarmed. They shouted and came from all directions, holding onto weapons that glinted in the moonlight. But when they saw the massive creature before them, their expression changed, "A flying… flying beast?!"
