Within the breadth of the Acarnis Galaxy, on a planet billions of light-years away from the location where Anthony and the rest were holding their friendly spar, a woman could be seen sitting in quiet solitude. On this planet, mana flowed gently and calmly, almost to a rhythmic and hymnic tune as it moved through the atmosphere like an unseen melody.
Across the planet, birds chirped softly as they flapped their wings through the tranquil skies, butterflies danced through the air without the slightest care, and flowers filled every inch and corner of this place with vibrant colors and delicate fragrance.
This planet belonged to a woman whom everyone on the Blue Planet knew as "The Everlasting One," or as "The Saintess of the World."
Crimson Irene, wife to Null Collins, mother to Null Michael, and grandmother to Null Anthony.
