Part II: Invitation from Danger
/When Gods ruled the realm, there were Kings.
But Kings were still just men; men left the world worse than they found it,
And in the end, all men must die.
Then came Mystel's blessing, her parting gift to the humans;
And so the first Queen didn't stop the wheel β she broke it./

Exotreia's night sky is breath-taking.
Stars glisten and sparkle against the dark sky like glitter dust on a black canvas. The two moons made their grand entrance almost as soon as the suns dimmed. Atelier was surprised at how quickly that happened. It felt like midday just a couple of hours ago. She heard Lucem and Lay talking about it; something about the /plague./ They looked worried, grim.
