Shadows Beyond the Horizon
The sun hung high in the sky.
Golden light poured across the endless green forests surrounding Fantom City, painting the world in warm colors. Gentle winds swept through the trees, causing countless leaves to rustle softly as if the forest itself were whispering ancient secrets.
A clearing not far from the city echoed with the sounds of battle.
Clang!
Steel collided with steel.
Two figures moved across the grassy field with remarkable speed.
One was Clara.
The blonde-haired woman stood with a shield in her left hand and a sword in her right. Sweat glistened across her forehead as she stepped forward with practiced precision.
Facing her was Lane.
Unlike Clara's straightforward style, Lane fought like a shadow dancing through the wind. Twin daggers flashed in her hands while mana wrapped around her body like an invisible cloak.
Clang!
Another strike collided.
Clara's sword descended in a powerful overhead slash.
Lane twisted sideways.
