Few Hours before the D’elvanilmest University had their orientation on the students.

Within the grand hall of the President’s House, a heavy silence loomed.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2PS924EAa
The long, rectangular table stretched across the room like a cold spine of authority. Seated around it were the realm's highest officials, each cloaked in layers of duty, history, and unspoken fear.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhK3slyRya
An elderly man, his voice gravelly with the weight of years, finally broke the silence.
“I believe it’s time… we send the chosen young ones.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhdofJrWMk
A murmur passed through the room, followed by a solemn nod from another official.
“Yes. It has been five centuries since the last group was sent.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nx9YvelEq
Someone leaned forward, fingers steepled in contemplation.
“Do you think they believe we've broken the promise?” he asked, his tone tight with unease.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHzWrjF6M5
A younger voice, sharper and less patient, cut through the room.
“And what if something happens to them just like what happened seven millennia ago? Are we really willing to forget that?”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgpBQyOZKi
The air grew heavier, as if the past itself had entered the room to remind them of the cost of failure.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINWm3q2V97
The president, a stern woman with brown-streaked hair and eyes that had seen the rise and fall of many eras, finally spoke. Her voice was calm, but every syllable rang with quiet authority.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH20YNeNTSv
"We did not forget."
She looked around the table, her gaze piercing.
"But fear has ruled us long enough. The prophecy was clear when the veil thins and the stars align, we must act. That time is now."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFtOMtbsNM
A heavy silence followed, thick with memories no one wanted to recall. The incident seven millennia ago had left scars unseen, but never fully healed. An entire generation lost to the unknown. Promises shattered. Trust broken. But the pact had never been erased.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiAoV0nyoT
The eldest Keeper, cloaked in deep blue robes that shimmered faintly like the night sky, shifted in his seat.
"The young ones this time… they're different. Stronger. Sharper. They were born under the Crescent Eclipse. The signs are all there."
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK9T7ZoF2D
Another official raised an eyebrow.
"Signs can be misread. What if we’re wrong? What if sending them now dooms us all?"
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3wZY5Em8e
The president stood, placing both hands firmly on the polished table.
"And what if waiting damns us worse?" she countered.
"We do not have the luxury of certainty anymore. The cracks in the veil are widening. The Other Realm is waiting."

Murmurs rippled through the room once more, but this time, there was no protest. Only dread. And resolve.

A thousand miles away, under the blinding glow of fluorescent lights and the steady hum of excitement, the gymnasium of Nixon State University was alive with chatter.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPKBAGvbHv
Students from every department filled the bleachers, their voices a wave of curiosity and speculation. Banners with the university’s crest hung high above the court, swaying slightly from the ceiling fans. The air was electric not from a game, but from something far more unexpected.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp3R7jXiMg
At the center of the gym stood a wooden podium bearing the university’s seal. Behind it, flanked by a few deans and faculty members, stood President Alondra Reyes, a composed woman in her fifties, with a kind smile and commanding presence.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yVxfSbBX7
She tapped the microphone gently.
“Good afternoon, students.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmJvYtM1lY
The noise dulled to murmurs, then fell into silence.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK2v0hv9g8
“Today marks the beginning of something extraordinary. For the first time in our university’s history, we are launching an elite, full-sponsored international exchange program.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSZvKEzUxH
She paused, letting the words sink in.
“One department from all the colleges and it's Students will be selected. Those chosen will represent Nixon State University in a cross-cultural academic collaboration with one of the oldest universities in the world.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFTvlxARMb
A ripple of excitement moved through the students.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijUy3aEv4C
“This program will challenge you not only academically but personally. You will learn, grow, and serve as ambassadors not just of our school, but of our country.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiPfs64yH2
Students began whispering among themselves. Some eyes lit with hope. Others narrowed with suspicion. Only a few noticed that near the back of the gym, a tall man in a black coat stood observing silently. Unmoving. Unknown.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb9s1i0h6y
President Reyes continued, unaware of the silent observer.
“The names of the selected students will be announced in three days. Until then, keep your hearts open… and your minds prepared.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyhvc7AoRn
Applause erupted. But somewhere in the rafters of the gym, beneath the ordinary sounds of celebration, something ancient stirred unseen, but drawing closer.

Meanwhile, along the border of the realms standing stones, where the mist clung to the earth like restless spirits, seven figures stood shrouded in black cloaks.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN77VkGKUbk
The wind whispered across the ancient stones, carrying with it the scent of time and forgotten blood.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQlOGQbcnK
They stood still—watching. Waiting.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKO9uuX1El
“Should we take her now?” one of them asked, his voice low and sharp, barely audible over the rustling wind.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmtCt7bLwo
Another figure, taller than the rest, stepped forward slightly.
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYB99OXJnl
“Noh-dare! Let it be,” he replied, calm but firm. “Let her come to us.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c9IsjgR9B
A third voice, quiet and cold, agreed.
“Rhykar is right. Let her see what truly happened with her own eyes.”
79Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSwbrs9IOA
Meanwhile, in the Earth Realm, a group of students stepped off a bus, their eyes widening with awe and curiosity as they gazed at the forcefield a shimmering border that seemed to separate their world from another.

A quiet whisper escaped from one of them.
