HELLO DARKNESS, MY OLD FRIEND

"THOSE AREN'T clouds, Princess Neoma."

"I know, right?" Neoma, who was standing on the balcony of her bedroom, agreed with what Jeno said. "That is Darkness."

There were dark "clouds" moving to the sun. It wasn't obvious to the naked eye yet, but people on her level could see it clearly– Darkness was spread in the sky with the intention of blocking the sun.

And if that happened…

Neoma let out a sigh. "Are they trying to cover the world in Darkness once again?"

"I don't know about the world yet, Princess Neoma," Xion said. "However, according to the reports I received from my family, there has been sighting of this strange phenomena all over the empire."

Aha.

"What's his name again?" Neoma wondered out loud. "That god of Darkness."

"It's Helstor, Princess Neoma," Paige answered. "He's the God of Eternal Darkness. He was also the one who tricked the former Commander Gavin Quinzel into betraying Lady Roseheart."
