The sailboat was tossed by massive waves, as Alger Wilson stood on deck, the crimson glow in his eyes fading. The glass bottle in his hand shattered, its frost melting into the rain. A snowflake appeared on his palm, then disappeared. He remained still, deep in thought, before heading into the cabin.
Inside, a blond man greeted him, "May the Storm be with you."
Alger entered the captain's cabin. The pale captain, defiant, said, "I will not give in!"
Calmly, Alger replied, "I believe you can." Before the captain could react, Alger dashed forward, choking him with supernatural strength. With a crack, the captain's lifeless body was thrown through the wall and into the raging sea.
As the wooden wall repaired itself, the blond man rushed in. "What happened?" he asked.
"The captain escaped," Alger replied, annoyed. "He still had some powers."
Looking at the repaired wall and eerily moving sails, Alger sighed, "A new era has begun…"
Back in Backlund, Audrey Hall stared at her shattered mirror, a crimson mark fading from her hand. She grinned, curtseyed, and began dancing. A knock interrupted her joy. Her maid entered, preparing her for the ceremony. Audrey, after a brief debate over her dress, smiled sweetly and got ready.

As the ship fired its cannons, Prime Minister Aguesid declared triumphantly, "The era of cannons and warships has dawned!"
