Filling the Pages
A brilliant white glow filling my vision pulled me back to consciousness.
The relic before me was radiating a blinding light.
Captain! Can you hear me?
Asherah...?
No time to explain! Grab the relic!
Still confused, I reached out and grabbed the glowing relic.
Now...!
The next thing I knew... I was back in the ballroom.
Asherah! Captain!
Ngh...! I'm fine. What about you, Captain?
I think I'm okay too...
Everything after being dragged into the rift was a blur, but at least I had no difficulty moving.
What's with this white glow...?
What appeared to be fragments of the relic descended around us like motes of light.
Though dim and fleeting, the glow carried an inexplicable warmth.
The moment the glow reached my body, my wounds healed without a trace.
It's a long story...
I think... I may have met the Star Savior.
...You what?
I don't mean I met him in person. But...
I think I caught a glimpse of his memories through the relic.
A glimpse of his memories?
...I'll tell you the rest once this is over.
First, let's take care of that thing.
The crimson eye writhed in agony as the glowing fragments struck it.
It's probably because the seal was only partially broken.
The relic shattered before it could regain its full strength.
Even so, we have no idea how powerful it still is.
...If the Star Savior had to seal it himself, it must be incredibly dangerous.
But he said he'd leave it to us.
Then we'd better make sure we don't disappoint him!
