The room was dimly lit, illuminated by the soft glow of a holographic map projected onto a large table at its centre. Shinon, Selena, Sable, Lova, and Nova gathered around the map, their faces cast in shadows that danced with the holographic display.
Silent questions filled the room, each person's mind buzzing with curiosity. Yet, all eyes were on Shinon, as they knew his return would significantly impact their lives, for the better or worse.

As Shinon pointed in the strange area, the map flickered, displaying various points of interest marked with symbols that spoke of both danger and potential.
"As you know, I've been closely observing the Eclipse, even going so far as working with them." Shinon began in a low, measured tone that cut through the room.
