The Pawns Move

At the other corner of the solar system, diametrically opposite to where the Pala Princes were staying,  a patch of space cracked.

It expanded slowly, the red crack inside wriggling like a living slime before it stabilized into a rectangular door shape.

The fluctuations of space began to spread from the red space door. If left to themselves, they'd spread from this end to the other end of the solar system.

It might not be detected by rank 4 awakeners, but peak rank 6 to low rank 7—the suspected ranks of Black Rose members—would be able to detect the fluctuations clearly.

To prevent that scenario, a few blue orbs were thrown out of the red crack which quickly distorted the gravity and wrapped the surrounding area of space.

The fluctuations that were supposed to go out in a straightline curved into a loop and confined within the space.
