Chapter Three: The Voice of Awakening
After the night of the storm when Albert unleashed his powers, an eerie silence descended upon the T-Reagle Clan mansion. While everyone else was busy repairing the damage from the energy explosion, Albert stood in his room, staring at the "Bible of Spiritual Fusion" floating before him.
Suddenly, the walls of the room shook, and a deep voice resounded, not from his ears, but from the depths of his soul—"The Voice of Awakening."
(Albert... seek the missing piece on the Continent of Dispersion... time is running out, and the chains are beginning to break.)
Grandmother Asia entered the room, her face a mixture of seriousness and concern. She looked at the floating book and said,
"You heard it, didn't you? The Calling Voice comes only to those whom the world has chosen as its rulers or destroyers. My son, your remaining here on the Continent of Beginning will bring destruction to our clan. The World Security Forces will not leave you alone." Albert tightened his grip on his blade. "Grandmother, do you mean I have to leave now? What about Mother and Anastasia?"
Asia produced an ancient ring that glowed with blue pulses—the Ring of Soul and Transition. "This ring will conceal your aura from prying eyes," she said. "Take to the Isles of Dispersion through the secret waterways. There, where laws are lost and powers are scattered, you can hone your skills far from the eyes of rulers."
The Silent Departure: At midnight, Albert found Maria waiting for him at the back gate of the palace. She didn't speak, but she handed him a small pendant charged with nature's mana.
"I'll follow you, Albert," Maria whispered, "but not now. I'll strengthen my magical energy in the forest to help you when we meet at the Isles of Justice."
With confident strides, Albert leaped into the dense forest surrounding the clan. He had barely traveled a few kilometers when he felt an immense pressure in the air. His magical energy was beginning to require a transformation. He had to activate the first circuit of magical energy to survive the journey.
Albert opened his Bible, and a blank page began to fill with golden words:
[First Quest: Reach the Isle of Silence and activate the Golden Element.]
Albert smiled confidently and galloped off like an arrow, leaving his childhood behind to begin the journey of the immortal who would rule Kruythen.
