The next day.
In this era of the war-ravaged South Continent,
from the Nox Mountains to Palton Obsidian Island, from Brin Twilight Snow Canyon to Ysanti Stardrop Bay, the homelands and strategic points of the eastern kingdoms were riddled with wounds. Towns were razed to the ground, harvests from the fields and treasures from the city-states were plundered, innocent civilians were slaughtered, and the ruthless enemies continued to face the iron-blooded warriors fighting against them.
Despite the southern front of the entire Kingdom Joint Council alliance in the eastern region being in critical condition, the heartland of Hutton Kingdom, Ichrite, remained the safest place.
In the early morning, the sky was tinged with a pale azure hue. In this dawning of autumn, the entire city was quieter than usual, as if this year's winter would come exceptionally early.
In the eastern district of Ichrite, next to a wooden house standing along the street east of Ichrite Academy.
