I still remember that day well...
It was the last time I saw Lirian smile before he left for the trial of candidates...
He kept his promise and returned alive...
But I will never forget the days of that expedition...
Even now during my reign as empress people speak of the unknown events that happened and come up with their own theories...
But I know for I was there, but I am one of only three that knows the entire truth...
It was sixteen days into the expedition, when the world expelled us all...
It was sixteen days into the expedition, when I witnessed a world experience boundless grief...
I know that grief and so do all the survivors for we felt it in every fibre of our bones, and in every cell of our bodies...
I learned that I knew nothing of grief on that day, even now when I remember that grief it makes me my body shudder and my eyes well up with tears...
Let me say it here, the truth that no one knows, on that day the mortal realm experienced a new first...
