Getting Ready (2)

Angele threw the crystal orb in the air.

The orb floated above him and released several rays of white light that created a white screen in the front.

The image became distorted for a second and slowly displayed the scene.

"Long time no see, Angele."

"It has been a while, master Liliana." Although it was just a recorded message, Angele still responded to her. He never expected for a letter to come from master Liliana.
