A signal: The Elemental Beast Appears?
In the western side of Coastal City, a hulking shadow roamed about, its features indiscernible in the darkness. The sheer size and aura of the figure were enough to intimidate even the most seasoned of Awakened. If any had been present, they would have been frozen in terror at the sight of its grandeur.
The hulking shadow continued its search, prowling through the streets as if in pursuit of something specific. Minutes passed before the figure came to a halt in an open area, scanning the surroundings to ensure it was alone. Satisfied, it carefully placed a blue orb on the ground. The orb pulsated with a fierce energy, showing slight cracks as if it contained a power ready to erupt and bring ruin to the world.
As soon as the hulking figure placed the orb, it vanished into thin air, leaving behind an eerie, gleeful laughter that echoed through the empty streets.
