The side hall of the Dragon Palace.
Dim bubbles rose to the surface.
An azure great serpent coiled and hissed, raising its head.
"Has Purple Scales not yet returned to the clan?"

Silence.
The snake demon began to feel uneasy.
With such a long delay and no word from the messengers sent out,
it's feared something unexpected has occurred.
