Outside the Dark Forest, a small void rift opened, and Evan emerged from it. In his hand was a fiery red token, burning with ethereal orange flames. An illusory shadow of a phoenix appeared intermittently within the flames, adding to its mystical appearance.
"Now I have the perfect medium to get in touch with the higher-ups of the Phoenix Clan," Evan muttered to himself. "Once I return to the Closed World of Drayds, I will discuss with Anastasia and the others how best to approach them."
He carefully stored the token Blaze had given him in his shadow storage before stepping forward. With a faint shimmer of energy, he disappeared from outside the Dark Forest and reappeared at the location where the Rank Four vampire and Blaze's guard had been fighting.
Upon arrival, Evan noted that the vampire and the guard had already left, likely realizing that Blaze and the other vampires were gone.
