Chapter 1: Transference
January 24, 2022 Time: 1830
Washington D.C. White House
President Gordon sat alone in his grand office, engrossed in the files and reports strewn across his desk. The day had unfolded like any other, calm and routine within the formidable walls of the White House. Little did he know, a sinister turn of events was lurking in the shadows, waiting to seize his attention. With a quick glance out the window, his heart skipped a beat as the world outside transformed before his eyes. What should have been a frigid night had surreptitiously transformed into a scorching day, bathed in an eerie cascade of radiant sunlight. The anomaly sent a shiver down his spine, filling the room with an unsettling silence. And just as the tension reached its peak, an aide barged into his office, their face etched with panic, signaling that the tranquility of the White House was about to be shattered by a mysterious and ominous force.
"Sir, I have urgent news to deliver!" the aide exclaimed, gasping for breath as he burst into the President's office.
"What is it?" the President replied, his voice filled with anticipation.
"We've lost contact with other countries and our overseas bases. However, we still maintain communication with our territories. Furthermore, our naval assets conducting patrols outside our waters have been mysteriously recalled back to our territory," the aide reported.
"Could this be an orchestrated attack of some sort?" the President inquired, his mind racing with the potential implications.
"At this point, we cannot confirm, but we recommend deploying reconnaissance planes to establish contact with other countries," the aide replied.
"I understand. Let's act swiftly," the President decisively responded.

Principality of Qua Toyne
6th Wyvern Squadron
Marl Patima, a skilled wyvern rider, embarked on a routine patrol mission northeast of the Principality. As he gazed down at the village below, relishing the cool breeze against his face, he suddenly noticed an enigmatic object that defied explanation.
"What on Elysia is that?" Marl Patima wondered aloud, his confusion mounting as he observed the flying object, devoid of any wing-flapping motion, emitting a deafening sound.
Drawing a magical device from his side, he spoke into it urgently, "HQ, this is Marl Patima of the 6th Wyvern Squadron. We have encountered an unidentified flying object while patrolling the northeast region of the Principality."
"Copy, 6th Wyvern Squadron. Proceed with a flyby to identify the object," HQ responded.
"Affirmative," Marl acknowledged.
As Marl cautiously approached, the sound grew increasingly deafening. He discerned that the object possessed four tubular structures, two on each wing, each adorned with swiftly rotating appendages that bore a striking resemblance to Muan aircraft. Before he could draw closer, a powerful rush of air expelled from the object, propelling it to ascend at an altitude far beyond the reach of his wyvern.
"This is Marl Patima of the 6th Wyvern Squadron. I have lost contact with the UFO. It has ascended and is heading toward Myhak. I repeat, it is heading toward Myhak," Marl urgently reported.
The HQ was left astounded—a craft that outpaced the capabilities of a wyvern was now en route to Myhak, a crucial economic hub within Qua Toyne.
"6th Wyvern Squadron, this is HQ. We have an unknown flying object that has breached our airspace and is approaching Myhak. You are authorized to intercept and engage the object on sight," HQ commanded.
The other members of the 6th Squadron swiftly mounted their wyverns, prepared to intercept the mysterious intruder. As they ascended, the object came into view, one of the wyverns unleashed a fireball from its gaping maw, aimed directly at the object. However, the fiery projectile missed its mark, and the object ascended even higher.
"6th Wyvern Squadron intercepting unknown object!"
"It's too fast! We can't keep up!"
"HQ, this is 6th Wyvern Squadron. We've lost contact with the unknown object. Based on its speed, it should be nearing the outskirts of Myhak soon."
"What are we dealing with here?" the pilots questioned, their voices filled with apprehension.
"Establish a defensive perimeter around Myhak and inform our troops. Prepare for the unknown object's arrival," HQ ordered.
Principality of Qua Toyne
Myhak
Captain Inne and her troops established a defensive perimeter in the path of the unknown object. However, without any anti-air weapons, all they could do was wait and watch as the object gradually grew larger. It reminded her of a Muan aircraft, but on a much larger scale.
"Sir, the wyvern squadrons at Myhak are unable to engage the unknown object since it is far beyond their capabilities," reported one of the troops.
"Have them stand by until further instructions are given," the Captain ordered.
"Yes, sir," replied the troop.

"Mr. President, take a look at these images we captured from one of our reconnaissance aircraft," the aide said, sliding some photographs onto the President's table.
"Could this be... a dragon?" the President asked, dumbfounded by the revelation that such a creature could actually exist.
"Actually, it's more like a wyvern, as it only has two legs," the aide corrected.
"I see. And there appears to be a rider on top," the President observed.
"We believe it attempted to intercept our aircraft but failed. It seems we may have unknowingly invaded their airspace, Mr. President."
"In that case, we must send an ambassador to their country immediately. We need to inform them that we have no ill intentions and, if we handle this situation correctly, it could be the first step in rebuilding our economy," the President determined.
"I'll inform Ambassador Peter right away, Mr. President," the aide acknowledged.

Principality of Qua Toyne Territorial Waters
Qua Toyne Navy 2nd Fleet
"Sir, I've spotted what appears to be ships up ahead," reported an aide to the Captain.
"Ships? Let me see," Captain Harald replied, curious to investigate.
"That can't be right. They're massive! Although their sails are furled up, it seems they might have noticed our fleet. Let's approach and investigate this large ship."
As they drew nearer to the ship, they were astounded by its enormous size. Even the smaller ships near it dwarfed their own.
"Look! There are humans on top, waving at us," one of the crew members exclaimed.
"Perhaps they want us to board, but how can we reach the top?" Captain Harald pondered aloud.
The humans on the ship's deck pointed to a descending platform. "Could they be using magic?" wondered the Captain.
"You two, come with me. Let's board that ship," he commanded.
"Aye, Captain."
As they stepped onto the platform, it began to ascend. Upon reaching the top, they were awestruck by the ship's immense size and width.
"You could hold a jousting match here, and there would still be ample space!" remarked one of the guards.
A person in an exotic-looking outfit approached them.
"Hi, I am Ambassador Peter of the United States of America," the individual introduced himself.
"I am Captain Harald of the Qua Toyne Navy 2nd Fleet. May I inquire about your ship's affiliation and destination?" Captain Harald inquired.
"Yes, we are here on a mission to establish contact with your country and offer our sincere apologies for entering your airspace," Ambassador Peter replied.
"So, that unknown object that invaded our airspace belonged to your nation? I fail to comprehend how such an incident could occur," Captain Harald expressed his confusion.
"You may find it difficult to believe what I am about to tell you, but we were transported here, and we had to dispatch reconnaissance aircraft to establish contact with other countries," Ambassador Peter explained.
"Transported? That's hard to believe," Captain
"We find it hard to believe, even for ourselves."
"I will immediately relay this information to HQ."
Principality of Qua Toyne
Headquarters
"Commander, I have just received an update from the 2nd fleet."
"What does it say?" the Commander inquires.
"They have come across five massive vessels. There is an official on board who wishes to meet with us. They claim to be from a nation called the United States of America."
"The United States of America? I have never heard of such a nation."
"They seem to have been transported here, or so they claim."
