South Harbour City.
In the early morning of July 21st.
Ming Yuwei was unusually not in the Queen's Palace practicing, but instead she commanded her subordinates to gather some odd items such as: mercury, bells, silver cups, incense, candles, roses, moonflowers, and so on.
As for herself, she went to a very well-hidden secret chamber where she began to meditate in silence.
Seeing that everything had been gathered by her subordinates, she dismissed them all, locked up the secret chamber, and started the arrangement.
She first scattered mercury around the room, then lit the incense. Once its scent had diffused throughout the chamber, she lit the three candles before her one after another.
With a 'thud,' she kneeled in a flower bed and began chanting.
"I implore the power of light…"
"I implore the gaze of the God of Light…"
"I implore the favor of the God of Light…"
Unbeknownst to her, in her mind, a wisp of black smoke was trembling in a rather human-like shape.
