Tamasya's Floating Island...
The air around Tamasya's floating island had been filled with an unsettling sharpness.
Manifestations of shadows drifted silently across the palace halls, carrying out their assigned duties without sound and without drawing attention to themselves.
Deep inside the palace, within a secluded chamber far removed from any disturbance, Tamasya had seated herself in a meditative position at the centre of the room.
Her posture remained steady, yet her body had begun to show subtle signs of strain as she drew in deep, heavy breaths, each one carrying more effort than the last.
Something imminent had begun awakening inside her, something long suppressed and tightly bound.
"Steady yourself," Shadow's voice resonated in her mind. "I will break the fifth seal now."
Tamasya's body did not react outwardly to the warning of the shadow because there was no need for her to brace physically.
What she faced was an entirely internal battle being waged within her.
