Archer watched as she cast her spells while the swarm drew nearer. Suddenly, citizens emerged from nowhere, screaming in fear. "What are you doing here, Princess? Get to the palace!" he urged.
However, the Ratlings swiftly overwhelmed the citizens. Archer tried to move forward but found himself paralyzed, unable to advance. He could only continue to watch helplessly.
The swarm engulfed the princess, and she glanced back at Archer, offering a sad smile before being swallowed by the monstrous creatures.
Witnessing her fate, his heart ached, but before his brain could fully process the scene, everything changed.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself amidst an ominous darkness, and a powerful woman's voice resonated, delivering a foreboding message.
"The moon will fall, and the sun will follow. The swarm will grow and descend upon Pluoria, the land you must protect, or history will repeat itself. Tiamat's white dragon. Go forth now!"
