After glancing in a certain direction in the faraway forest, she put on a thick outer robe and disappeared from her chamber. In just a few moments, she reappeared in the dark forest where she felt the source of the strong supernatural energy.
'This energy…it's neither magic nor natural power…it's a force from the innate talent of an ancient bloodline…'
A distance from where she was standing atop the trees, she saw a huge flash of light brightening up a part of the forest, followed by a heavy muted thunder sound. It was a familiar sound, a kind of colliding sound she had not heard for more than a century ever since she lived among humans.
'A battle!'
After that thunder-like sound, the forest was calm again and darkness engulfed the area.
Esther hurried towards the place of the incident. Though the calm of the dark forest had been restored, the traces of battle–the thick black smoke and the destroyed trees—were like a lighthouse beckoning her to come close.
