In the darkness of the palace, a woman slithered gracefully, her slender body entwined in glistening black snakeskin. Every movement she made exuded elegance and a palpable sense of fear in the air. Other creatures witnessing her arrival could only bow their heads obediently, submitting to the presence radiating authority and enigma. In the silence, Ayu slowly made her way towards the grand hall, her sister's throne room.
'Attention! Goddess Ayu has arrived at the palace!'
Several individuals dressed as ancient royal warriors immediately prostrated themselves. Some of their movements were accompanied by weapon swings, as if they were performing a welcoming dance. Ayu's presence caused all the inhabitants of the palace, mythological creatures in various forms, to bow their heads in reverence.
The figure seated on the royal throne did the same. Upon seeing her sister's arrival, Queen Bella smiled widely.
'Greetings...'
